Super Rugby finals series participants confirmed
Super Rugby played out the regular season with Round 18, and with all matches now completed, Sanzar can confirm the following.

The Reds claimed the Australian Conference in the last round thanks to a bonus point victory over the Waratahs, and Suncorp Stadium will host the Sharks.
