Super Rugby is going through a few changes.

Most notable is the alterations to its finals format, with all six teams who qualify for the post-season featuring in the quarter-finals – the three winners and highest-seeded loser making up the draw.

CEO Jack Mesley joined Jason Pine to discuss the changes to the competition.

He told Piney that they think the new format is going to create great interest at the back end of the season, and then deliver some really compelling rugby cup final series.
