With the Trans-Tasman crossover just a week away, there are several clubs looking to build momentum as they name their teams for round nine.
The round kicks off with arguably the match of the season as the Crusaders welcome the Blues to Christchurch.
Following this, the Queensland Reds will look to cement their spot in the top four when they face the red-hot Rebels at AAMI Park.
A triple-header of action on Sunday will see the Chiefs and Moana Pasifika face-off, before the Hurricanes face the Highlanders and the Waratahs travel to Perth to face the Force.
