Eyebrows have been raised over Super Rugby Pacific’s light schedule for the Easter weekend.
Only three matches were scheduled – the Crusaders v Fijian Drua, the Chiefs v Waratahs, and the Reds v Force.
CEO Jack Mesley told Piney they faced quite a few scheduling difficulties for the weekend when they were initially building the draw.
He says that the sporting landscape is very competitive over Easter, and while some might think they’re losing out, others could say they’d be missing a trick to go up against it, and that they’re being quite strategic about how they place their matches and how they compete.
“We’re pretty confident with what we’ve rolled out.”
