Super Rugby Pacific se acerca a las dos últimas semanas de la temporada regular mientras los equipos comienzan a prepararse para la fase final.
Hurricanes y Chiefs abrirán la fecha en Hamilton en lo que se espera que sea un thriller, seguido por los ACT Brumbies que reciben a los Melbourne Rebels.
Los NSW Waratahs con la ausencia de Enrique Pieretto y Moana Pasifika buscan mantener vivas sus escasas esperanzas finales de meterse en los playoffs mientras luchan en Auckland, mientras Blues se enfrenta a Crusaders en Christchurch.
Queensland Reds y Western Force con Santiago Medrano de titular se cruzarán en Brisbane, mientras que en el último partido de la fecha, Highlanders con Martín Bogado ausente, medirá fuerzas ante el rugby show de Fijian Drua en Dunedin.
