The Counties Manukau Stingrays will start their 2020 Men’s and Women’s NZRL Premiership campaigns on the road this weekend against the Canterbury Bulls.

The Women’s Stingrays will face Canterbury from 2.05pm at Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub in Christchurch on Saturday while the men face the Bulls from 4.05pm at the same venue.

The teams return home next week when both will tackle the Akarana Falcons at Pulman Park in Papakura before a Round 3 schedule that sees the men face Waikato and the women meet the Mid-Central Vipers.

The Men’s Stingrays finished third in the Premiership last season while the Women were champions.
