Q: Why does this/that team have an extra four points - they have only played X matches ?
A: The new Super rugby format awards teams four points for every bye. This is done so that teams don't feel like they are being left behind if they have a bye and are chasing a place in the play offs. Super

Q: Where can I watch Super Rugby online ?
A: Superxv.com does not stream matches online. Rugbyzone used to stream Super Rugby online but they stopped
trading at the end of 2010. At this stage we do not know of a
legal/illegal replacement for Rugbyzone where fans can watch Super
Rugby online. If you find a way to watch it online and we have
not listed it please do let us know and we will spread the word!
In the meantime the closest we can get you to watching Super Rugby
online is through our own video highlights section which can be
found using the following link. Super

Q: Where can I watch Super Rugby on TV?
A: With the expansion from a Super 14 to a Super (15) Rugby tournament

Q: Why do you have my Super Rugby team playing another
Super Rugby team twice in the fixtures !
A: Yes your Super Rugby team does play another team twice. The
move from Super 14 Rugby to the new Super Rugby tournament with
15 teams has a new format where teams from the same country play
each other twice (home & away) AND four out of five of the
team in the other countries. To
