The Queensland Reds are looking for a crucial win as they travel to Auckland to face Moana Pasifika.

Victory will lock Les Kiss' side into the top six after the NSW Waratahs' loss last night to the ACT Brumbies.

Watch every second of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season live and on demand via Stan Sport.

The incoming Wallabies coach has recalled a host of stars, including scrum-half Tate McDermott, for the first time in 2026.

He is joined by second-rower Josh Canham, while skipper Fraser McReight returns after his week off.

They remain on guard against a Moana Pasifika side that may be playing in their final home game.
