Brumbies vs Hurricanes Predictions

The Brumbies are in very good form while the Hurricanes have been poor all season. That said, the visitors possess plenty of quality and if they turn it on, an upset isn’t impossible. However, I am going with the Brumbies consistency to cover the -5.5 handicap.

Brumbies Form

The Brumbies had an inconsistent start to their season but have found their feel in recent weeks. They have won six of their nine games and currently sit third on the table.

With five wins in their last six, the Brumbies will be confident ahead of this fixture, especially at home. Their only defeat in that span came against the Waratahs away from home.

Since that defeat, the Canberra side has beaten the Highlanders at home, the Reds away and last weekend Moana Pasifika 24-0 away.

Hurricanes Form

The Hurricanes had a very strong 2024 season, topping the table but in 2025 the wheels have come off. They are currently sixth on the table with three wins from nine fixtures.

In their last victory against the Waratahs at home, the Canes showed their class, winning 57-12. However, they then lost 19-18 away to the Blues and 31-24 at home to the Crusaders.

Last weekend, in a game the Canes would have fancied winning, they could only manage a 17-17 draw against the Western Force in Perth.
