- Hurricanes look good to cover handicap
- Hurricanes have a great record at home against Highlanders
- Highlanders have won only 2 fixtures this year
Expired
The Hurricanes entertain the Highlanders at Sky Stadium in Super Rugby Aotearoa on Sunday. The Hurricanes have had the better of the Highlanders in recent meetings and there is great value in the handicap market.
Hurricanes Form & News
The Hurricanes made a decent fist of the traditional Super Rugby tournament in early 2020, winning four of their six matches. Their start to Super Rugby Aotearoa, however, has been less impressive.
The Canes were defeated in their opening fixture 30-20 away to the Blues, before losing 39-25 to the Crusaders at home.
Their most recent clash was a well-earned 25-18 away victory over the Chiefs in Waikato. Scott Scrafton was sent off during the match, but the Canes held on to great effect.
The Hurricanes don’t have any injury concerns and will be expected to keep their momentum going by not tinkering with the line-up. Scott Scrafton will serve no suspension for his red card.
Highlanders Form & News
The Highlanders have been below par in 2020. Howeverm they did manage a 28-27 win over the Chiefs at home in the first round of Super Rugby Aotearoa, but have lost all their matches since.
In the second round of Super Rugby Aotearoa fixtures, the Highlanders were beaten 27-24 away at the Blues, before being hammered 40-20 by the Crusaders at home.
Highlanders lock Josh Dickson was stretchered off in their last game and his fitness will be assessed. They are missing a few key players in Nehe Milner-Skudder, Josh Ioane and the impressive Sam Gilbert.
