    High scores seem to be the norm this Super Rugby Pacific season, highlighted by the Highlanders' thrilling 31-29 defeat of Moana Pasifika last night at North Harbour Stadium

    High scores seem to be the norm this Super Rugby Pacific season, highlighted by the Highlanders' thrilling 31-29 defeat of Moana Pasifika last night at North Harbour Stadium


    The Western Force have epitomised this with their upset 45-42 victory over the Brumbies and a 45-44 scrape past Moana, but the Queensland Reds' 56-36 win over Moana and the Chiefs' 49-24 humbling of the Crusaders are just a handful of the big scorelines in 2025.

    In fact, only one side have failed to score less than 21 points in any game ... the bottom-placed Blues also with that 21 points.

    Top side the Chiefs - with a plus-36 points difference - host the Brumbies this afternoon ... their midfielder Anton Lienert-Brown isn't focused on how many tries they can run in.



    Kickoff's at 4.35pm - live commentary on GOLD SPORT and iHeartRadio.
