From Checkpoint, 5:48 pm on 11 August 2025

Christchurch's brand-spanking new central city stadium has been given hosting rights to Super Ruby's Super Round next Anzac weekend - the arena's debut major sporting event. The long-awaited $680 million stadium is set to open in April, with the defending champion Crusaders playing the first competitive match. It'll be the first time the Super Round is held in New Zealand. Anna Sargent reports.
