Final Super Rugby regular round promises to be action packed

Final Super Rugby regular round promises to be action packed

The last regular round of the 2015 Super Rugby competition sees some exciting matches with the top six teams trying to finish on a high note.

The teams that have qualified for the playoffs are the Hurricanes, Waratahs, Stormers, Chiefs, Highlanders and Brumbies.

Tonight the Highlanders will be without star center Malakai Fekitoa when they take on the Blues at Eden Park.           

In terms of selection, the Blues have named arguably their strongest side with captain Keven Mealamu, Charles Piutau and Angus Ta'avao to spoil the Highlanders party.

The match will be Mealamu's final Super Rugby match and the Blues will be adding in some emotion.

Looking at the other matches, Crusaders legend Dan Carter says when he peels‑off his Crusaders jersey for the last time against the Brumbies it will be with few regrets.

The Crusaders have also named Fijian wings, Nemani Nadolo and Jone Macilai to start against the Brumbies.

Tomorrow, the Hurricanes are expecting a tough match from the regenerated Chiefs side as Sonny Bill Williams, Pauliasi Manu, Quentin MacDonald and Ben Tameifuna have all returned this weekend.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says that the match between the Waratahs and the Reds is the Wallabies trials.

Taqele Naiyaravoro will feature for the Waratahs while Samu Kerevi will be the go to man for the Reds.

In the matches tonight, the Blues will take on the Highlanders at 7.35pm while the Rebels will face the Force at 9.40pm.

The Brumbies will host the Crusaders at 5.30pm tomorrow, the Chiefs will host the Hurricanes at 7.35pm while the Waratahs will face the Reds at 9.40pm.

On Sunday the Bulls will take on the Cheetahs at 3.05am while the Sharks will face the Stormers at 5.10am.
