Entrainés pendant sept saisons (2017-2023) par Scott Robertson, devenu depuis fin 2023 le nouveau sélectionneur des All Blacks, les Crusaders sont les favoris incontestés après avoir remporté 14 titres en 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002 et 2005 (Super 12), 2006 et 2008 (Super 14), 2017, 2018 et 2019 (Super Rugby), 2020 et 2021 (Aotearoa), 2022 et 2023 (Super Rugby Pacific).
La saison 2024 de Super Rugby est la 29e édition de cette compétition de rugby à XV dans l’Océanie, disputée par douze franchises : cinq d’Australie (Brumbies, Waratahs, Reds, Force et Rebels), cinq de Nouvelle-Zélande (Chiefs, Crusaders, Blues, Hurricanes et Highlanders), une des Fidji (Fijian Drua) et une des îles du Pacifique (Moana Pasifika).
La phase finale à partir du 7 juin
Cette année pendant la première partie de la saison, les douze équipes joueront dans un format « round robin » où chaque équipe rencontrera tous les adversaires, avec sept matchs à domicile et sept à l’extérieur. La deuxième manche, appelée « Super Round », se jouera du 1er au 3 mars à l’AAMI Park, à Melbourne, dans la capitale de l’état du Victoria en Australie, où toutes les équipes se retrouveront à raison de deux matchs par jour.
Chaque équipe bénéficiera d’une journée de tournoi off.
Le coup d’envoi de la phase finale à huit équipes sera donné le 7 juin. Les équipes seront classées de 1 à 12 en fonction des points obtenus pendant la saison régulière. Les huit premières équipes à l’issue de la saison régulière se qualifieront pour les play-offs.
En quarts de finale, l’équipe classée première joue contre l’équipe classée huitième, l’équipe classée deuxième contre l’équipe classée septième, l’équipe classée troisième contre l’équipe classée sixième et l’équipe classée quatrième contre l’équipe classée cinquième.
Les vainqueurs des quarts de finale se retrouveront en demi-finale et les vainqueurs des demi-finales se retrouveront en finale. L’équipe la mieux classée accueille chaque match de barrage.

Comments on RugbyPass
Most crazy rule is when attacking player has to release but defender does not. Stop the defender doing that by saying hands off. That way fender would not kill the ball. Madness and crazy

1 Go to commentsToulouse has enough quality players so no headaches 😁 Choco is rarely a starting centre. Throughout this championship there have been far worse actions that were never called… too many rules, too many rule changes, too many inconsistencies, too many angry fans. I'm not surprised rugby does not attract new spectators, how could they understand 🤣
6 Go to commentsAh yes Andy with his “Goode” views. Oke might as well come out and say it, “I like seeing South African scrums depowered in order to give the rest of the world a chance”. Somehow he thinks World Rugby always knew about calling scrums from marks and it just so happened to coincide with Damien Willemse’s call that they decided to change the rules. Ah come on, if he can't see it then he needs prescription glasses. No ways, they are doing this for the betterment of Rugby. They want to clamp down on Rassie’s innovative skills than encouraging coaches to think outside of the box to try new things. What they can't count on is what Rassie will plan next. I almost get the impression that once Rassie retires World Rugby is going to be scrabbling around trying to find their identity. Currently set at ARP (Anti-Rassie Party). Although I don't really care in that regard because they always a RWC step behind.
7 Go to commentsWow ten years since they had a backing and more from the paying public I’d also mention that as a blues man and in walking distance to the garden I’d say that this team and Vern Cotter have got us dreaming beautiful thoughts and the merit is there from numbers 1 to 23 but we would like to think this is the new dna for the ABs and a pack weighing 940kg dry y not I hasten to add it seems patty has to stay fit cause he is the driver the main driver and they follow plus the pipe man H Plummer is conducting his own orchestra ….. Beethoven anybody
1 Go to commentsJuicy stuff well covered I’d go as far as to say that the referee was a key component in keeping it a tasty spectacle
1 Go to commentsCotter has added that steel that has been missing. Let's see if it will carry until the Finals… Come on the Blues ….
2 Go to commentsAndy Goode just loves to be controversial. Its boring. Let’s all stop reading.
7 Go to commentsYou have got to consider that if the situation was flipped and the French were held to a salary cap with no English equivalent, the English would laugh in their faces and tell them to get over it. As for Leinster (as a fan), the central contract system is a dream but is guilty of cutting out the other 3 provinces. At the end of the day, it comes across outside of the English border that the Premiership is drowning and trying to take everyone else with it rather than adapt. The English lose, the English want new rules. We've seen this repeat (and once it even led to the current Champions Cup) You make many good and informed points, but if the flip was on the other flop, it wouldn't be Rugby’s problem I suspect - it would be a French one.
17 Go to commentsSeems to have been a bright start but it tailed off. To win the big matches you have to get used to putting your foot on the throttle and your opponent’s necks in an 80 minutes performance which is what the All Blacks were renowned for. An example in the Women’s game is England v Ireland in the 6N match played at Twickenham in April. Watch on YouTube.

1 Go to commentsNo comment on the textbook red card for Ramm that was just ignored? Amazing that
4 Go to commentsThese rule changes have been implemented with good intentions, but much like every other rule change focus on isolated symptoms instead of the root cause. If you cannot croc roll, and cannot risk any head contact with a front on clear out, it is not clear how you are supposed to lawfully clear someone out who is attempting a jackal. This will backfire massively and lead to substantially more kicking. Teams will simply not want to take the ball into contact. Or it will lead to even more dangerous methods to clear players out who are over the ball. I much prefer having the set piece on a 30 second shot clock over no scrum on a short arm infringement. Resets are not a problem in themselves, but 90 second water and tactics breaks before every scrum are a big problem. Trainers constantly coming on to the field to help players pull their socks up and delaying the game are a problem. DuPont law was a blight on the game and should have been changed the day after it was first implemented.
80 Go to commentsAh yes, the opinion of Andy Goode… Andy Goode, the man who knows what some of the Irish players said to Eben Etzebeth after the QF, better than what Eben himself knows. And, judging by this piece, the Grandmaster of clichés.
7 Go to commentsI think this is a fair view. As a South African I am concerned about the depowering of the scrum but let’s be honest, until the SA vs FRA quarter many people didn’t even know you could take a scrum from a free kick. As you say it’s going to come down to interpretation… until then we don’t really know how this is going to impact the game. That would lead to my own objection. Do the unknowns of changing a law outweigh the cons of said law. With such an obscure law that most people had never heard of, one that had never really had an impact on the game in the first place is it worth changing to invite so much uncertainty. Better the devil you know then the devil you don’t as it were…
7 Go to comments162 comments so far and counting. i didn't realize that rugby fans are on the way to join the football brothers. what is the point to share personal opinion only to get all this shi*? it seems IRB bosses are doing the great job by killing the spirit of the game both on and outside the pitch. too sad, indeed. btw, was there anything on eben’s point of view from the boys in green, who he mentioned?
