REDS REVISIT CHRISTCHURCH, BRUMBIES BRACE FOR HURRICANES Finals rugby kicks off this weekend. It all starts Friday at 5:05pm (AEST), with the Reds travelling to Christchurch to take on the Crusaders, a side they toppled last year to break a two-decade losing streak in the city. Then on Saturday at 7:35pm (AEST), the Brumbies host the Hurricanes in Canberra, with both teams carrying strong form into a blockbuster clash.
Three winners advance to the semifinals, joined by the highest-seeded losing team - the ‘lucky loser’ - who drops one seed to avoid a repeat match-up. The road to the title starts now. |
