In 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Zealand sides featuring in the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific season went into bio-bubbles in Queenstown, New Zealand for the opening three rounds of the season. This meant 8 matches were relocated to around the Queenstown area, originally to Rugby Park in Invercargill and Wakatipu Rugby Club, before night matches were confirmed for Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin instead.[2] As the only rugby stadium in Queenstown, Wakatipu Rugby Club is currently scheduled to host 3 day matches in the opening 3 rounds, the first time the venue will have hosted an official Super Rugby match.[3]
