In the second Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinal match of the weekend coming to FloRugby for North American viewers, the Chiefs and Blues are set to clash Saturday to earn a spot in the semifinal round.

The Gallagher Chiefs enter the round at No. 1 and will host the No. 5 Blues in a 2024 final rematch—a few weeks earlier than last year this time around. 

The two played earlier this season, meeting in a Round 5 grudge match that barely resulted in favor of the Chiefs, 32-31.
