The Super Rugby Pacific playoffs have begun. 

The Hurricanes delivered a statement performance in their qualifying final against the Brumbies, advancing them to the semi finals and firmly establishing them as favourites for the title. 

This afternoon the other four teams will battle it out for the remaining playoff spots, with the Crusaders taking on the Blues this afternoon, and the Chiefs and Reds following this evening.
