Super Rugby Pacific Team of the Month for March
The 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season has been one of the most competitive and entertaining in the history of the competition.
Australia's rugby revival is reflected in the number of forwards picked in Wide World of Sports' team of the month for March, although New Zealand players dominate the backline.
Read on to see who made the cut.
15: Will Jordan (Crusaders)
There were genuine fears that an unusual inner ear vestibular issue could ruin Jordan's career, with the All Blacks star experiencing dizziness and vertigo at different times.
But so far, so good in 2025 for Jordan, who has helped spark the Crusaders' resurgence with his outstanding play.
The fullback is silky smooth and quite simply one of the best players to watch on the planet.
14: Caleb Tangitau (Highlanders)
The former New Zealand sevens flyer has taken no time at all to adjust to Super Rugby.
Tangitau is one of the fastest men in the competition and has the physicality and confidence to match.
Will be on the All Blacks radar already and has shown a poacher's instinct for timely intercepts.
13: Filipo Daugunu (Reds)
The Waratahs dominated the conversation when it came to raiding the Rebels but Daugunu's return to Brisbane has been massively impactful.
Josh Flook's injury has allowed the Wallabies winger to showcase his versatility by switching to outside centre.
Daugunu seems to enjoy the tough stuff nearly as much as scoring tries and his work over the ball is consistently impressive.
12: Timoci Tavatavanawai (Highlanders)
The Fijian wrecking ball has become one of the most feared players in the competition.
Can jump between inside centre and the wing and is even more of a breakdown terror than Daugunu.
Tavatavanawai is a revered figure at the Highlanders and is now club captain.
11: Sevu Reece (Crusaders)
Fell out of favour with the All Blacks last year and his confidence seemed to take a hit from the Crusaders struggles.
But Reece is scoring tries for fun again and is relishing the hard tracks early in the season.
The 28-year-old is short of stature but has plenty of strength in his hips and thighs.
10: Damian McKenzie (Chiefs)
Back in the driver's seat at No.10 after starting the season at fullback.
McKenzie has never fully realised his potential at Test level but he is made for Super Rugby with an all action game.
The 29-year-old has been one of the competition's most impactful players of the last decade.
9: Cam Roigard (Hurricanes)
The Hurricanes have struggled early in the season and would have been in worse strife if not for Roigard's inspiration.
The halfback has made a remarkable return from a ruptured Achilles and his dangerous running game is up there with Antoine Dupont's.
Roigard's raking left boot is another major weapon.
8: Harry Wilson (Reds)
The Wallabies captain is thriving with the responsibility.
And at just 25, the best is yet to come from the rampaging 110kg No.8.
Wilson captained the Reds for the first time against the Highlanders and, you guessed it, came away with a big W - their first in Dunedin for 12 years.
7: Carlo Tizzano (Force)
We all knew that Tizzano could tackle and win turnovers but his attacking game has been a revelation this year.
The flanker scored eight tries in the club's first six games and his improved passing has also been a feature.
Fraser McReight will be hard to budge from the gold No.7 but Tizzano is giving it a red hot go.
