The Hurricanes host the Crusaders in Saturday Super Rugby Pacific. Join The Roar for live scores from 2:35pm AEST.
The Crusaders are clear favourites to win this one but the Hurricanes have been talking a good game this week after the Highlanders only lost to the Crusaders by three points last week.
“They’re beatable. We’ve felt they are beatable for three or four years, and it’s no different this year,” Hurricanes coach Jason Holland said.
As is often the case though, champion teams find a way to win and the Crusaders are definitely in that category.
The Crusaders have made two changes with Argentina star Pablo Matera starting the game at no.6 with Ethan Blackadder replacing Tom Christie in the no.7.
The Crusaders can leapfrog the Reds with a win on the Super Rugby table.
