The sixth and final round of Super Rugby Aupiki is upon us, and the top spot is very much still up for grabs after Matatu's upset win over the Blues in round five.

The Auckland team still own a one-point advantage over the South Islanders on the standings, and will host the winless Hurricanes Poua to round out the regular season.

For Matatu, they conclude the regular season playing host to a Chiefs Manawa side who own a better points differential than them, despite having lost three games to Matatu's one.
