Crusaders kick-off title defence against Chiefs
The Highlanders host the Brumbies in the opening fixture of the fourteenth season of Super Rugby on February 13.
Western Force will then play host to the Blues later on the same day, with the final game of the opening day seeing the Lions welcome the Cheetahs in the first South African derby.
Defending champions the Crusaders kick-start their defence against the Chiefs in Christchurch on Saturday 14 February, as they go in search of an eighth Super Rugby title.
Losing finalists, the Waratahs, travel to the Hurricanes in the following match for a meeting between two of 2008's semi-finalists.
The final remaining semi-finalists - the Durban-based Sharks - travel down the South African coast to meet the Stormers in Cape Town.
The 94-match tournament reaches its climax with the final on May 30.
