GIO Canberra Stadium, Battye Street Bruce, ACT 2617 Australia. Part of the Rugby Network © 28 Feb 2020 Super Rugby. UPDATE: The Brumbies and Reds are embracing the idea of Super Rugby double headers after the relocation of upcoming matches due to coronavirus.Next weekend's Brumbies-Sunwolves match will become part of an historic Super Rugby double header, relocated to Wollongong to be played ahead of Friday night's Waratahs-Chiefs match.The following week's Sunwolves-Crusaders match has been moved to Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium and will be played before the Reds-Bulls round seven clash.These two matches are believed to be the first in-season Super Rugby double headers, though it's a concept that has been seen in NRL in recent years.An announcement by the Japanese Government on Thursday requesting the cancellation of all sporting events in the country for the next two weeks sparked the need to shift the fixtures, to avoid having to cancel the games.Brumbies CEO Phil Thomson was taking the positive view to news of the relocation.Reds coach Brad Thorn said the double header concept was "salivating", when told about the plans on Friday morning.With the matches still Sunwolves home games despite being relocated to Australia, scheduling the fixtures for venues that were already set to host Super Rugby that day avoided many logistic and financial difficulties. The benefits of moving to Manuka would be a throwback to the inaugural Super Rugby season in 1996 and playing at a smaller venue against an opponent which traditionally draws smaller crowds. They are also in negotiations to shift a game to Manuka Oval for 25th season celebrations in May, although costs could prevent the change in venue. March 21: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies at Eden Park, 5.35pm. Brumbies CEO Phil Thomson was taking the positive view to news of the relocation. Suncorp Stadium will host 8 Queensland Reds home games in the 2020 Super Rugby season. The Brumbies have met with the government about shifting away from the 25,000-seat Canberra Stadium to play the Cape Town Stormers at Manuka on May 9. "On Thursday it was revealed that the match would be moved due to fears about the coronavirus, which has already forced the cancellation of a host of rugby events around the globe.After SANZAAR and the teams scrambled to find a viable alternative, the Super Rugby governing body confirmed on Friday morning that the round six match would be moved.The fate of matches further down the schedule including against the Reds on April 5 and the Waratahs on May 8, is yet to be determined.SANZAAR CEO Andy Marinos said shifting the matches to Australia was the logical solution, allowing the Sunwolves to be based in a central location for the next month.“Super Rugby has been very aware of the effect and ongoing concerns around the corona virus and it was very clear that we had to make changes to the match schedule to conform with Japanese government requirements and health authority directives, and of course to ensure the well-being of our players and management teams, match officials and spectators," he said.For the integrity of the tournament we also believe relocating the matches was the right thing to do regardless of the complexities involved.
