Round Three of Super Rugby Pacific is filled with massive match-ups as the teams confirm their line-ups for the weekend ahead.

The round is headlined by a rematch of the 2025 Grand Final, with defending champions Crusaders desperate for victory as they travel to Hamilton to face the Chiefs.

Meanwhile, the top-of-the-table ACT Brumbies host the Blues in Canberra, while the Fijian Drua return home to take on the red-hot Hurricanes in Lautoka.

The action will kick off Friday in Pukekohe with Moana Pasifika against the Western Force, followed by the returning Queensland Reds welcoming the Highlanders to Brisbane.

The NSW Waratahs will enjoy the bye.
