## Resource

The Super Rugby Pacific playoffs have arrived, amidst final round chaos. The Hurricanes are top qualifiers despite a heavy loss to the Crusaders, the Chiefs are confident after dismantling the Blues, and the Brumbies are under pressure from a shock defeat to Moana Pasifika.  ARP's Ross Karl, James Parsons and Bryn Hall look at who will win and why. We also get into who should be the All Blacks props and who you'd have with the squad as an apprentice. Catch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.
