There's less than a month to go until rugby fans get their first glimpse of the 2019 Super Rugby sides in preseason trials.

With the Super Rugby season starting earlier because of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, this year trials will kick off  on Australia Day in Canberra with a clash between the Brumbies and Rebels.

The Waratahs take on the Highlanders and Brumbies in their two trials, while the Rebels have announced a clash with the Reds in Ballarat.

A Reds match-up against the Chiefs on February 8 rounds out the list for 2019.
