OK so i got bored at work the other day and started thinking about next years possible Rugby tours, then about the possible dates for next season. So i based these on next season starting the same weekend as this year, which was the 2nd weekend in Febuary, if that is the case it will look similar to this (dates have put down as the weekend of):
Febuary 13th-15th - Auckland Blues
Febuary 20th-22th - Cheetahs
Febuary/March 28th-1st - ACT Brumbies
March 6th-8th - Waikato Chiefs
March 13th-15th - Canterbury Crusaders
March 20th-22nd - Sharks
March 27th-29th - BYE
April 3rd-5th - Queensland Reds
April 10th-12th - Wellington Hurricanes Edit: If correct this is the Easter Weekend next year also
April 17th-19th - NSW Waratahs
April 24th-26th - Lions
May 1st-3rd - Bulls
May 8th-9th - Stormers
May 15th-16th Otago Highlanders
Home games are in blue
(feel free to point anything i have missed, and yes i have too much time at work)

doesnt look to bad... thank goodness the bye is in the middle of the season. that trip to canterbury will be a winner, 3rd win on kiwi soillets have another undefeated tour in newzeland.
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

Brother Gallagher I hear you
the expanded season with new teams.
but it still blows my mind as to how they are going to include a japanese team.
Excellent - rugby on Valentine's Day, and a trip to Sydney mid-April.
Then I can save up for Brisbane the next year. Sorted!!!
Reckon there might be another InnForcers tour to NZ this season?
Keeping the Faith ... right here in Perth!
The Brubies game would also be a WA long weekend if those dates are confirmed.
Brumbies, Chiefs and Crusaders...that sounds like an InnFORCEers Tour!!

Should I expect a booking for the Beer Garden next year?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Now to find an airline who'll pre-book me some hypothetically cheap flexible tickets.![]()

Unless you are working of confirmed dates TIF, I would think the long weekend to be the Chiefs match weekend as it is normally on my birthday weekend (6th).

Long weekend in WA always first weekend (Monday) in March I thought??

Sounds right, but it would be first full weekend rather than first weekend with a day in March, ie next year it's 28th-1st then 7th-8th.
I guess someone will be able to find out soon enough, I'm hoping it's the 7th-8th...
