Super Rugby Pacific continues to heat up with two rounds left in the Super Rugby Pacific regular season.<\/p>\n

The round begins in Christchurch, with the Crusaders looking to secure their spot in the finals with victory over the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

It’s followed by a grudge match between the NSW Waratahs and ACT Brumbies in Sydney, with Saturday’s slate beginning as Moana Pasifika host the Queensland Reds.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes will be hoping to potentially lock up the top spot and end the Highlanders’ finals chance in Wellington, while the Western Force needs to defeat the Fijian Drua in Perth to stay in the hunt.<\/p>\n

The Blues enjoy the bye this weekend.<\/p>\n
