Referees to 16 August 2020
The Crusaders are Super Rugby Aotearoa champions, the Brumbies have been beaten and Premiership Rugby is back!
The Melbourne Rebels handed the Brumbies their first defeat of the competition in Round Six and now have the opportunity to find themselves on top of the table with victory over the Reds on Saturday.
The Reds will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak, while the Rebels are aiming for their fourth consecutive victory. The winless Western Force opens the round against the Waratahs, with the latter still in touching distance of the Rebels and Brumbies above them.
The competition is over in New Zealand as the Crusaders claimed the first Super Rugby Aotearoa title and the Chiefs claiming the wooden spoon after going winless in the tournament.
The Blues could seal second place with victory over the champions or if the Hurricanes come unstuck against the Highlanders.
The rugby stadiums of England will be trampled on once again as Premiership Rugby returns with a full round of fixtures as the competition resumes with Round 14.
