Round 4 of Super Rugby Pacific carries just as much weight on the ladder - but this one hits a little deeper.
This weekend, players will take the field wearing the socks of community clubs that helped shape their rugby journeys, a nod to the grassroots game across New Zealand and Australia.
Fresh off their bounce-back win over the Chiefs, the Crusaders head to Eden Park looking to pile more pressure on a Blues side reeling from a controversial late loss to the unbeaten Brumbies. Saturday night’s heavyweight clash under Auckland lights shapes as the headline act of the round.
The Chiefs kick things off on Friday night, hosting Moana Pasifika, with both sides eager to respond after Round 3 defeats.
Across the ditch, the Hurricanes face an unbeaten Waratahs outfit in Sydney. The ‘Canes are searching for answers after their loss to the Drua in Lautoka last week.
Back under the Forsyth Barr roof, the Highlanders welcome the Western Force. Both teams sit at 2-1 and will be looking to gain early separation in a tightly packed table.
The round closes in Canberra, where the competition-leading Brumbies put their perfect 3-0 record on the line against a Queensland Reds side still finding its rhythm at 1-1.
