The Super Rugby Pacific semi-final schedule has been confirmed, as the last four teams standing in the competition are set to do battle for a place in this year’s final.

There are two interesting encounters scheduled to take place with teams from Australia and New Zealand left standing in the hunt for silverware.

Defending champions the Crusaders failed to qualify for the play-offs which means there will be a new name engraved onto the Super Rugby Pacific trophy as 2024’s winners.

Number two seeds, the Blues, will host the first encounter when they take on Australia’s leading outfit the Brumbies at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday, while the Hurricanes, who finished at the top of the table after the regular season, will host the Chiefs at Sky Stadium in Wellington on Saturday.
