The third round of Super Rugby Pacific concluded with several notable outcomes, including the Fijian Drua's victory over the Crusaders, the Hurricanes maintaining their unbeaten streak by defeating the Blues, and the Queensland Reds securing a win against the previously undefeated Chiefs. The Fijian Drua, praised for their performance in front of their home fans in Lautoka, managed to repeat their previous success against the Crusaders. The Hurricanes' win over the Blues was highlighted as both teams entered the match undefeated, but the Hurricanes emerged victorious, continuing their strong start to the season. In Brisbane, the Queensland Reds produced an upset by beating the Chiefs, with 19-year-old fly-half Harry McLaughlin-Phillips playing a crucial role in the victory by winning a turnover penalty during the final phases of the game. The Reds' win was celebrated as a significant achievement, with Cormac Daly expressing his happiness post-match.
