GRAND FINAL
REDS V FIJIANA DRUA
SATURDAY 6 MAY
LIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:40PM AEST
The Queensland Reds are gunning for their first ever Super W title as they host the Fijian Drua in Townsville on Saturday. The Reds were runners-up in the first four years of the competition, which launched in 2018, losing to arch-rivals the NSW Waratahs each time. But the arrival of the Drua in 2022 bumped the Reds out of the decider as the Fijians won a dramatic final against the Waratahs.
New Zealand import Carys Dallinger kicked the Reds into this year’s big dance with a match-winning penalty with 90 seconds left in a tense 23-20 semi-final victory over the ACT Brumbies. But it was winger Heleina Young who really turned heads, and swung the match, with a breathtaking double strike within four minutes to start the second half at Concord Oval.
ROUND 11
HIGHLANDERS V CHIEFS
FRIDAY 5 MAY
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:30PM AEST
The Highlanders have reacted to their loss against the Waratahs by handing former England five-eighth Freddie Burns a start ahead of Mitch Hunt. The unbeaten Chiefs have mixed news on the injury front, with centre Anton Lienert-Brown back from a high ankle sprain but lock Brodie Retallick ruled out with a groin strain.
FIJIAN DRUA V HURRICANES
SATURDAY 6 MAY
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 11:50AM AEST
The Drua are in desperate need of another home win as they try to boost their hopes of qualifying for the Super Rugby Pacific finals for the first time. The 3-6 Fijians entered round 11 in 11th place but only two points off the top-eight pace as they prepare to host the Hurricanes in Suva.
CRUSADERS V FORCE
SATURDAY 6 MAY
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 2:00PM AEST
After a hiccup against the Reds, the Force are out to get their campaign back on track as they visit the defending champion Crusaders in Christchurch. The 3-6 Force entered round 11 in 10th place but only two points off the top-eight pace as they eye an almighty upset against Scott Robertson’s side.
BLUES V MOANA PASIFIKA
SATURDAY 6 MAY
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:40PM AEST
An all-Auckland derby between the star-studded Blues and second year club Moana Pasifika, who are still without a win in 2023. The Blues won last year’s historic clash 46-16 at Eden Park, as hooker Kurt Eklund scored a hat-trick.
REDS V WARATAHS
SATURDAY 6 MAY
LIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 7:00PM AEST
The stakes are high in Townsville as the sixth-placed Reds host the seventh-placed Waratahs as the finals race heats up. The clash between in-form flankers Fraser McReight and Michael Hooper is one of many mouthwatering match-ups.
REBELS V BRUMBIES
SUNDAY 7 MAY
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 2:00PM AEST
The ninth-placed Rebels can force their way into finals calculations with an upset win over the high-flying Brumbies. The Rebels had a high scoring win over Moana Pasifika last week while the Brumbies lost a thriller against the Hurricanes.
SEMI FINALS

WEDNESDAY 10 MAY
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
For the second season in succession – and the third time overall – Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with the stage set for another epic tie.
Statistically, this one couldn’t be bigger or closer – both sides are current reigning champions of their respective countries, and in the UEFA Champions League they stand at 3 wins apiece with two draws, making this an absolute must-match. Some of the greatest strikers in the world today will be on full display, with Man City’s Erling Haaland and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema crucial to their side’s success.
