An indoor stadium, a proud rugby history, and a notoriously rowdy student population, the ingredients are all there.
Coach Jamie Joseph implored the powers at be to consider Dunedin.
"Don't forget there's 20,000 students that choose to live in Dunedin for four or five years. You may be one of them, I was. Dunedin's an awesome place to host something like Super Round. We've got an indoor stadium that will lend itself quite well."
Highlanders skipper Ethan de Groot said the city would step up for the occasion, just as Christchurch had done.
"We love our rugby down south and I feel like we don't get enough of it, especially with test matches. The more rugby down south, the better."
Teammate Timoci Tavatavanawai concurred.
"Same kind of ground, same kind of vibe. It's a small city, but there's a lot of people that always support. So yeah, I'll take it down there if they want it."
As the only side to have had a covered home ground prior to Te Kaha's opening, the Highlanders feel they have the playbook for under roof rugby.
"We are used to playing under a roof, you know, but I think it gives an advantage for all the teams, really," Joseph said.
"The consistency of the conditions play no part, no wind, no sun in your eyes, it just sort of lends itself to a really good time."
