The quarter finals fixtures for the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific have been confirmed after the conclusion of the last round-robin matches last night with the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua set to take on defending champions the Crusaders next Saturday.

The Fijian Drua created history last night by becoming the only team in the Super Rugby Pacific competition to make it into the playoffs in just its second year of participation.

They showed a lot of courage and sheer determination against a star-studded Reds side to secure a 41-17 dominant win at home and move to 7th place.

This has seen the Reds dropping down to eighth place.

The Fijian Drua will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm next Saturday in Christchurch.

In other quarter final matches next week, the Blues will take on the Waratahs at 7.05pm Friday, the Chiefs play the Reds at 4.35pm Saturday and the Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 9.35pm Saturday.

Meanwhile, Moana Pasifika recorded their first win of the 2023 Super Rugby Pacific Season last night after beating the Waratahs 33-24.
