La semana 12 del Super Rugby Pacific es la denominada Fecha Cultural y presenta algunas rivalidades increíbles y enfrentamientos cruciales a medida que se acerca el final de la fase regular.
El partido que se llevará todas las miradas sin dudas será el que disputen en Auckland Blues y Hurricanes en el sábado, ambos en lo más alto en las estadísticas.
Mientras que, Highlanders con el Puma, Martín Bogado desde el inicio, se enfrentará a sus rivales de la Isla Sur, Crusaders, mientras los NSW Waratahs chocará con otra de las franquicias australianas de gran momento, ACT Brumbies en Sydney.
Reds se medirá ante un rival con mucha historia entre ambos, como lo es Melbourne Rebels, y Chiefs haciendo lo propio ante Moana Pasifika en el primer partido de la jornada doce.
En Perth, Western Force con Santiago Medrano de titular estará desesperada por conseguir una victoria cuando se enfrente al difícil Fijian Drua.
