    A major step in the globalisation of franchise rugby

    A major step in the globalisation of franchise rugby


    That's the view of Blues CEO Andrew Hore after it was announced his team will take on Japanese sides Suntory Sungoliath and Yokohama in 2024 pre-season action in February.

    Hore is interested in the idea of playing more overseas clubs in the future.



    The Chiefs will face the Kubota Spears and Panasonic Wild Knights.
