ROUND OF 16 – 1ST LEG
REAL MADRID v ATLÉTICO
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 6:35AM AEDT
HOSTED LIVE IN STUDIO WITH ADAM PEACOCK, MARK BOSNICH & CRAIG FOSTER
The Round of 16 kicks off with some mega matchups, highlighted on Wednesday by the Madrid derby between two of the glamour clubs of Spanish football, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
Atlético had a great UEFA Champions League season, finishing fifth in the Matchday phase. Big brother Real Madrid finished down in 11th, having to endure the Knockouts where they outlasted Man City in a spectacular tie that had the world tuned in.
The star-studded Real Madrid will go in as favourites despite this, but Atlético packs plenty of starpower of their own, including French superstar Antoine Griezmann and Argentine striker Julián Alvarez.
ROUND 3 – CULTURE ROUND
MOANA PASIFIKA V HIGHLANDERS
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:30PM AEDT
Moana Pasifika host their first home game of the year after coming off two decent efforts, despite not getting the results. They host a determined Highlanders side that put in their best performance in recent memory to upstage the Blues at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
Kyren Taumoefolau has starred in both Moana Pasifika’s losses, and Jamie Joseph’s Highlanders will be wary of the 21 year old’s supreme try scoring ability.
WARATAHS V FIJIAN DRUA
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 7:00PM AEDT
The bye unfortunately hasn’t helped Waratahs coach Dan McKellar, with star Joseph Suaalii out of this clash, however he gets to test exciting young prospect Henry O’Donnell who slots in at outside centre, with flyer Darby Lancaster also included on the wing.
The Waratahs face a dangerous Fijian Drua side that is coming off a tight loss to the Hurricanes, and they’ll have a new playmaker with Caleb Muntz steering the ship at flyhalf.
CHIEFS V BRUMBIES
SATURDAY, MARCH 1
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 2:15PM AEDT
The Brumbies head to Hamilton, which has become a tough place for Aussie teams to win, and they are licking their wounds after a nailbiting loss to the Western Force in Canberra last week.
Stephen Larkham has made just the once change to his side, with the dynamic Rory Scott coming in for Tom Hooper, joining an all-star back row of Luke Reimer and Charlie Cale.

The Hurricanes got the job done in a nervous performance against the Drua last round, and now face a fired up Blues side who still, surprisingly to some, sit on the bottom of the table.
The Hurricanes have made five changes including bringing in the barnstorming Pasilio Tosi, while the Blues have kept the faith, making just the one change with Josh Beehre in the pack.

The Western Force have officially had their best start ever to a Super Rugby season, with two wins on the trot, but now face a Reds side that will be looking for revenge in the West, after losing their away trip to Perth last year.
Both sides have made a host of changes, with Reesjan Pasitoa coming into the Force starting side to play his first match in three years, while the Reds are without the suspended Hunter Paisami, and he is replaced by young gun Dre Pakeho.
