The Chiefs and the Western Force are set to face off in Round 11 of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season as the visitors look to hold fort at the top of the ladder.

The Chiefs have had a wonderful season so far, as they have taken seven wins from their first nine games. They led the ladder in all the rounds but after losing in Round 9, they fell to second place for the first time this season. However, after a win last week with a bonus point, they regained their top spot over the Crusaders.

The Western Force have had a very average start to the season as they have managed to grab four wins and as many losses so far. After starting the season with two straight wins, they have taken only two wins in six games, and they sit sixth on the ladder.
