Wellington Hurricanes lead the way with the Queensland Reds and Waikato Chiefs chasing hard after four rounds of Super Rugby Pacific with the implosion of the Canterbury Crusaders leaving a fresh look at the top of the standings.

The Hurricanes are the only unbeaten side in the competition after their 14-10 win in Christchurch on Friday that condemned the Crusaders, title-winners for the last seven seasons, to four straight losses for the first time in 28 years of Super Rugby.
