Only the Chiefs and Reds remain winless ahead of Round 5 of Super Rugby, and both sides face huge challenges to remedy that record this weekend.
Brad Thorn’s side are in Tokyo for a date with the Sunwolves while the Waikato men welcome the Hurricanes to FMG Stadium in Hamilton.
Meanwhile the Southern Derby takes centre stage on Saturday before the undefeated Rebels face their biggest test against the Lions in Johannesburg.
