The draw for the rebooted Super Rugby Australia competition was released today. The new look competition involving the Brumbies, Reds, Waratahs, Rebels and the Western Force will take in 10 home and away rounds, with each team having 2 bye rounds, followed by a 2 week finals series.
The first round sees the Queensland Reds host the Waratahs in Brisbane in Friday 3 July and the Brumbies hosting the Rebels in Canberra on 4 July with the Force having the bye in the opening round.
