Description

Changes are coming to Super Rugby Pacific. 

The competition has gone from 12 teams to 11 with the collapse of the Melbourne Rebels and in 2025, will move to a six-team playoff format. 

All six teams who qualify for the post-season will feature in the quarterfinals, with the three winners and the highest-seeded loser making up the four teams in the semifinals. 

That lucky loser will drop one seeding for the semifinals, which means the top seed after round-robin play is guaranteed a home semifinal. 

New Super Rugby chief executive Jack Mesley tells Heather du Plessis-Allan the new format will bring a lot of interest.
