We can expect some high intensity matches in Super rugby with seven teams still in the running for a playoff berth. 

The Chiefs have become the first team to qualify for the top six playoffs after they beat the Highlanders.

The other seven teams in the running are the Stormers, Brumbies, Bulls, Crusaders, Hurricanes, Reds and Sharks.

The crunch match for this weekend is the Crusaders and Chiefs match where Crusaders need nothing less than a win.

Hurricanes are on bye this week meaning four points a guaranteed for them but a win, even with a bonus point against Chiefs next week would not guarantee a playoff berth with other results still needing to go Hurricanes way.

In other matches this week, Reds play Highlanders where the defending champions will be going for a kill.

Brumbies and Waratahs match will also decide a lot for Brumbies as they sit third on the overall points table.

Other matches will see Stormers play Cheetahs and Sharks will take on Bulls.
