Super Rugby Pacific: Can Chiefs No 8 Pita Gus Sowakula maintain hot form?

The Hurricanes won't play in Super Rugby Pacific this weekend due to a virus outbreak. The Hurricanes' game against Moana Pasifika was postponed last weekend. Moanna PasIFika will play a catch-up game with the Chiefs in Auckland on Saturday night. The game will be played on the same day as the Hurricanes game.

The Chiefs beat Moana Pasifika 33-12. The Crusaders beat Chiefs 24-21 last weekend. Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan has named a match-day 23. Pita Gus Sowakula is the star player for Chiefs.

Moana Pasifika is an underdog in Super Rugby Pacific. Covid-19 had to postpone their opening two games, and the Hurricanes had the pin pulled last weekend.

All Blacks' management should show empathy to coaches. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck may get more opportunities to impress the All Blacks coach Ian Foster later in the season. The absence of the Blues this weekend isn't the worst news for Roger.

The Fijian Drua beat the Reds 33-28 in Brisbane last weekend. Next up for the Druas is a match against the Force in Sydney.
