Super Rugby Pacific 2025: Semi-final ties, times and dates revealed
Crusaders and Brumbies players celebrate victories during Super Rugby Pacific.
The Super Rugby Pacific semi-final schedule has been confirmed, as the last four teams standing in the tournament are set to do battle for a place in this year’s final.
There are two interesting encounters scheduled to take place next weekend, with three sides from New Zealand and one from Australia still involved in the hunt for silverware.
Crusaders the first team into semi-finals
This, after the Crusaders were the first team to book their spot in the semi-finals courtesy of their 32-12 triumph over the Reds on Friday in their Super Rugby Pacific Qualifying Final.
The action continued on Saturday with the defending champions the Blues, advancing to the last four after causing an upset when they clinched a 20-19 win over the top-seeded Chiefs in a nail-biting encounter in Hamilton.
The Brumbies were the final team to reach the semi-finals when they sealed a hard-fought 35-28 victory over the Hurricanes in Canberra later on Saturday, and in doing so, they prevented it from being an all-New Zealand affair in the last four.
