Raiders and Brumbies open to joining forces for double header
« on: October 30, 2019, 06:13:42 AM »
Both the Canberra Raiders and ACT Brumbies will keep a close eye on how their historic NRL-Super Rugby double header at Eden Park goes. If it's a hit, they could look to replicate it at Canberra Stadium in the future. As revealed in The Canberra Times, the Raiders will play the New Zealand Warriors as part of a double header with the Brumbies and Auckland Blues playing afterwards at Eden Park on March 21. It's the first NRL-Super Rugby double header, but it might not be the last. Raiders chief executive Don Furner said there were a few logistical issues - like changing the lines on the fields from rugby league to union - but it was something he was open to hosting in the future.
