Head to Head
The Hurricanes beat the Blues 29-21 at home earlier this season. However, the Blues have won their last 3 home games against the Canes.
Blues Form
The Blues are second on the Super Rugby table, a point off their opponents the Hurricanes. The only defeat the Blues have suffered this year came at the hand of the Canes.
Recently the Auckland side have been in sublime form, wiping away all comers. They have a perfect record at home to boot as well.
At the end of April, the Blues beat the Reds 41-34 away from home in a tricky encounter. Last weekend they were convincing winners, beating the Rebels 38-11 in Melbourne.
Blues Injuries & Team News
This is not a game the Blues will be resting players. They have selected a strong side with the chance to go top if they win.
Hurricanes Form
The Hurricanes have been superb this season and are currently top of the table. They have won nine of their 10 games, their only defeat came against the Brumbies in Canberra.
After starting the season with eight straight wins, the Hurricanes fell short by 27-19 away to the Brumbies two weeks ago. However, they bounced back to beat the Waratahs at home 41-12 last weekend.
Despite their incredible season to date, the Canes will move down to second if they fail to beat the Blues. Earlier this season, on home soil, the Hurricanes did beat the Blues.

Like their opponents, this is too big a game to be resting key players. The Wellington-based outfit are at full strength.
Verdict
I am backing the Blues to cover the -2 handicap and go top of the table.
