Waratahs vs Hurricanes Predictions


Waratahs have had a solid beginning to their new Super Rugby campaign but they have had little success against the Hurricanes recently. The Hurricanes fell short in their previous match but are on a winning streak against the Waratahs. 

  • Hurricanes have won 3 of their last 5 fixtures.
  • Hurricanes have won 2 of their last 5 away matches.
  • Hurricanes have won 8 consecutive matches against the Waratahs.
  • Waratahs have won 3 consecutive home games.
  • Waratahs have lost 4 consecutive home matches to the Hurricanes.

Head to Head


The Hurricanes have a commanding lead of ten victories to three victories against the Waratahs in 14 meetings.  

Waratahs Form


The Waratahs have played two fixtures in this edition of Super Rugby, beating the Reds 36-12 and Fijian Drua 36-13.

The Waratahs had no answer against the Hurricanes last season, losing 57-12, although that was away from home.

The Waratahs have started their new campaign well and will aim to keep their momentum going against the Hurricanes; however, they have lost eight consecutive times to their opponents. 

Hurricanes Form


Hurricanes came away empty-handed in their Super Rugby clash with Fijian Drua last weekend, losing 25-20 away from home after trailing 17-13 at half-time. 

Before that result, the Hurricanes thrashed Moana Pasifika 52-10 at home in their season opener. 

Hurricanes will be out for redemption after their disappointing defeat when they travel to take on the Waratahs, having registered four consecutive victories at their opponent's stadium.
