oh, and the only way to view this legally in ireland / UK is on Amazon prime :D

subject to change of course, but currently amazon prime is the broadcaster for ireland / UK

im not sure if rugby pass will be included as a streaming option, given that prime is a streaming service itself, and id imagine would have exclusivity

actually coming from here, but seems to be a copy and paste

SUPER RUGBY MOVES TO QUEENSTOWN

The six New Zealand based Super Rugby Clubs, working with New Zealand Rugby and New Zealand Rugby Players Association have agreed to move into a Queenstown bubble from Tuesday 8 February. We believe this is the most practical way to operate given the high infection risk posed by COVID/ Omicron and in the current public health settings.

This bubble set-up will also allow us to go some way to fulfilling our obligations to broadcast, commercial and other partners, and allow fans to enjoy Super Rugby Pacific 2022.

It is expected that this bubble will last until the completion of round 3 at which time teams will return to their home cities and venues for the remainder of the competition. 

Preseason game tomorrow
