Week 9 was a shorter slate of games, but it still managed to shake up the standings. The Ice Dogs continued their surge with a statement win over the league-leading Northstars, Canberra kept building momentum, and Central Coast experienced one of the strangest weekends of the season, losing a thriller before winning an even crazier one.
Round 15 opened with a pair of blowouts, a classic defensive struggle in Auckland, a tense finish in Parramatta and a fitting farewell at Leichhardt Oval. Here’s a wrap of the action so far.
The 2026 Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals delivered two emphatic statements as the Chiefs and Hurricanes dismantled their opponents to set up a blockbuster Grand Final in Hamilton. Both home sides were irresistible in attack, combining for 106 points and ending the seasons of the Crusaders and Blues in devastating fashion.
Round 13 delivered a true thrashing, a stunning upset at Suncorp Stadium, and several crucial results in the race for finals positions. Penrith produced a club-record demolition of the Tigers, the Titans shocked Brisbane with a moment of brilliance from Keano Kini, and the Roosters continued their strong form with a clinical shutout in Canberra.
