The 2025 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season has been officially launched with players from the 11 clubs that will be participating in the competition this year coming together for a spectacular coastal event in Sydney.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua winger Selestino Ravutaumada represented the club at the launch.

The other players that represented their clubs at the launch include Beauden Barrett (Blues), Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii (NSW Waratahs), Julian Savea (Moana Pasifika), Rob Valetini (ACT Brumbies), Ruben Love (Hurricanes), Carlo Tizzano (Western Force), Braydon Ennor (Crusaders), Jeffery Toomaga-Allen (Queensland Reds), Aidan Ross (Chiefs) and Sean Withy (Highlanders).

Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Masley says there are so many reasons to be excited as we count down the days to kicking off the 2025 season.

Masley says they continue to innovate on and off the field to ensure they are delivering the most dynamic and engaging rugby competition in the world with their fans front of mind.

He says with the Blues winning the title after 21 long years, this year, they will be the hunted team.

There are 77 matches lined up for this year across an extended 16-round regular season, culminating in a revamped six-team Finals Series.

The season kicks off next Friday with the Crusaders taking on the Hurricanes in Christchurch before the new-look Waratahs tackle the Highlanders in Sydney.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will host the Brumbies at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva next Saturday at 3.35pm.
