The match day 23, which features eight newcomers, has only had two trainings amid the travel to Japan after being named on Tuesday.

The Warriors aren't underestimating an understrength Penrith Panthers line-up in today's NRL showdown at Mt Smart. 

The four-time defending champions are without their State of Origin reps, with travel difficulties from Perth not allowing them to play. 

Warriors assistant coach Stacey Jones says even without the likes of Nathan Cleary and Isaiah Yeo, the Panthers are a threat.

The Chiefs are confronting their unwanted record in Super Rugby finals ahead of tonight's decider against the Crusaders in Christchurch. 

Defeats to tomorrow night's hosts in 2021 and 2023 as well as a loss to the Blues last year paint an ugly picture for the visitors. 

However, the team won both of their regular season contests comfortably, and are entering the final with a points differential more than 120 points better...

What a blackeye for Grant Dalton.   

Peter Burling's move to Luna Rossa says so much about their relationship, or the strained nature of it at least.  

It was a shock when Peter elected to walk away from negotiations with Team NZ, a bigger shock that he’s now tied his colours to the mast of Luna Rossa’s AC75.  

His exact role is not yet known, to us anyway, and should the protocol stop him from climbing on board...

Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham admits Super Rugby Pacific's final-four playoffs stage remains their Achilles heel heading into tonight's semifinal with the Chiefs in Hamilton. 

The Canberra side have lost four consecutive semis in Aotearoa, and haven't made a final since 2013. 

Larkham's been asked if they've learned from those experiences.
