WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Teams with a proven ability to win across conference lines have a chance to consolidate their standings in Super Rugby during an Easter round of mainly undistinguished match-ups.
The tournament's fifth round features only one true derby, the usually anticipated clash between Australian rivals the Queensland Reds and New South Wales Waratahs. This year's meeting is likely to lack its traditional luster as the Reds have yet to win a match and the Waratahs are coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in three years.
Japan's Sunwolves and Argentina's Jaguares are at home to South African teams in matches which are between rivals from the African group but which lack the feel or provenance of derbies.
More importance will be attached to matches involving the table-topping Sharks and Chiefs.
