It is Round 16 and after a three week break, Super Rugby is set to start up again as we enter the final stretch towards the play offs.

The tournament resumes at a crucial time with just three rounds left to play leaving a handful of teams fighting it out for a place in the top six.

The Chiefs will try to cement their position at the top of the Super Rugby standings when they meet the Highlanders.

For the Highlanders, it's do or die. 

Even though they remain only a point out of the play-off mix, they must overcome a red hot Chiefs outfit tonight.

The Chiefs and Highlanders match kicks off at 7.35 tonight.

At 9.40pm the Reds will take on the Rebels and this is also a must win match for the Reds who are the defending champions.
