2001 Super 12 season

The 2001 Super 12 season was the sixth season of the Super 12, an annual rugby union competition contested by teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The season ran from February to May 2001, with each team playing all the others once. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams entered the playoff semi finals, with the first placed team playing the fourth and the second placed team playing the third. The winner of each semi final qualified for the final, which was contested by the ACT Brumbies and the Coastal Sharks at Bruce Stadium, Canberra. The ACT Brumbies won 36–6 to win their first Super 12 title, and became the first Super Rugby champions from outside New Zealand.[1] It was the Brumbies first Grand Final appearance since 1997, this was the first year where a New Zealand team failed to make the playoffs.
