Are we thinking the Chiefs' wobble is serious? Or is it a glitch which afflicts every side along the lengthy Super 15 road?

Hurricanes players featured heavily in last weekend's round of Dream Team Fantasy Super Rugby but don't get your hopes up for a repeat performance tomorrow.

Super Rugby's new format has been endorsed by New Zealand's players but commerce teams around the country may take more convincing after seeing their most lucrative income stream cut by 25 per cent.

Richie McCaw has proven time again that he can find form straight after an injury break and Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder will be hoping to see those qualities tomorrow.

He's only one man. Well ... that's how the Hurricanes see Waratahs fullback Israel Folau. But Folau is playing like a man possessed this season, racking up huge numbers in Super Rugby as opposition defences struggle to contain him.

Super Rugby will rebuild itself along the lines of the NFL from 2016, creating a two division-four conference model that will see local derbies decrease and three new sides enter the fray.

Sir John Kirwan says Steven Luatua is going through a "difficult time" in terms of his form, but Jerome Kaino, a loose forward built on similar lines who took time to fulfil his promise, believes the 23-year-old is on the right track.

The Chiefs have stripped bare their slumping attack in search of more excitement against the Lions this weekend.

A sore ankle won't be enough to stop Will Genia sharing in a significant milestone with Queensland Reds teammate Quade Cooper.

Hurricanes supporters rejoice, for the moment, at least. Not only is your team leading the New Zealand conference in the second half of the season.

This time last season the Highlanders were taking hits from all directions.

The Blues will have the services of Simon Hickey, should they choose, right up to the May 31 clash with the Hurricanes.

A couple of New Zealand teams made real statements this weekend - the Blues and the Highlanders - and in completely different ways.

Their form remains a concern but the number of Chiefs ruled out through concussion represents an additional headache for Dave Rennie.

The Western Force were left singing in the rain after producing their trademark grit in a 15-9 win over the Bulls in Saturday night's Super Rugby clash in Perth.

Blues captain Luke Braid's injured shoulder is likely to keep him out of the next game against the Reds.

The Queensland Reds are poised to rush Wallabies breakaway Liam Gill back from injury as they attempt to dig their way out of a deepening Super Rugby hole.

Benji Marshall has gone, Baden Kerr has missed the entire season on the back of not much last year and Chris Noakes continues to graft around his limitations.
