Hurricanes 45-22 Rebels - AS IT HAPPENED
The Rebels' losing streak in Super Rugby extended to nine consecutive games after they were comprehensively beaten by 45-22 at Sky Stadium on Saturday.
The Canes have now won their last four games in the competition in a row as they build confidence and momentum going into the playoffs.
Brumbies 19-21 Blues - AS IT HAPPENED
The clash of titans lived up to its billing as the Blues overcame the Brumbies 19-21 in a tense Super Rugby clash at GIO Stadium on Saturday.
The Brumbies were looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in Super Rugby for the first time since 2018.
The Blues, on the other hand, had won 18 of their last 19 games in the Competition and extended their unbeaten run to 12 games.
After the Brumbies lost possession at halfway, Jordie Barrett kicked a drop goal to earn a dramatic win for the New Zealanders.
