The Gallagher Chiefs have earned home advantage for their DHL Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final against the Queensland Reds this Friday night.
The team has been building slowly through the season and was aiming to go to another level as the competition enters the knockout stages.
From this point forward the quarter-finalists will start on a clean slate with an opportunity to advance another step towards the championship title.
Naming an electric backline and experienced locking duo, the Gallagher Chiefs are determined to take that step on Friday.
“When we play the Reds, we tend to bring out the best in each other. Both teams like to express themselves with ball in hand and we are expecting a fast-paced and fierce encounter,” Gallagher Chiefs head coach Clayton McMillan said.
