Crusaders v ACT Brumbies
This is it. The gates open, the lights come up, and Super Round 2027 kicks off in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Three days of non-stop festival fun inside the stadium starts an epic weekend!
Two heavy weights of Super Rugby Pacific, the hometown hero Crusaders have the championship pedigree, but the ACT Brumbies have their own special brand of footy to bring to Christchurch. What an opener!
Grab your seat early, because this is the one everyone will be talking about on Saturday morning.
Chiefs v Western Force
Blues v NSW Waratahs
Saturday is Super Round at full volume. A stacked lineup, back to back matches, and a stadium buzzing from first whistle to last, and then after that, and after that, and even after that. The Chiefs and Western Force arrive full of firepower and flair.
Then the Blues and NSW Waratahs close things out by contesting for ultimate blue bragging rights. Saturday is shaping up as the biggest party of the weekend. Be ready to back it up.
Highlanders v Fijian Drua
Hurricanes v QLD Reds
Sunday - the home run. The energy from the weekend carries straight through, with a good crew, sunshine (but it doesn't matter, because there's a roof), unreal tunes, and a crowd ready for one last big push. The Highlanders will light up the pitch against the Fijian Drua, who travel with a crowd that turns every game into a party. What's not to look forward to on Day 3.
Then the reigning champion Hurricanes bring the pace and flair, against a Queensland Reds side who have their own brand of speed. Daring runs, brave offloads, and epic moments right to the final whistle.
Christchurch's state-of-the-art home of sport and entertainment.
