    Super Rugby's boss insists purists will be catered for as the competition evolves


    The five New Zealand franchises have chosen a character from the Marvel Universe to represent them on jerseys this weekend.

    For the record, the Highlanders picked the Hulk, the Chiefs opted for Black Panther, the Crusaders chose Iron Man, the Hurricanes selected Captain America, and the Blues went for Spider-Man.
