Show Preview
The Hurricanes host the Blues in Wellington to kick off Round 6 of Super Rugby Aotearoa. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:05pm (AEST).
When these two sides met in Round 1 it kicked off a three-game winning streak for the Blues which marked them down as genuine title contenders in this abridged competition. Five weeks later and that streak is now over, courtesy of a thrilling defeat at the hands of the Crusaders.
Wellington might have fallen short in the early-season encounter between these two, but that match was away from home – and they were without fullback Jordie Barrett and Ardie Savea was limited to a bench role.
Both star players are in the XV today, not only bolstering the Hurricanes to the point they’re slight favourites with the bookies, but also giving rugby fans a treat of a match-up between the two no.15s with Barrett going head-to-head with his brother and former World Rugby Player of the Year, Beauden.
Dane Coles also returns for the Canes after missing last week’s win over the Highlanders, while the Blues will be hoping last week’s top-of-the-table clash didn’t take too much out of them – a loss today could end their title chances.
Kick off: 5:05pm (AEST)
