  • Hurricanes are undefeated in their last 3 matches.
  • Highlanders have lost 7 of their last 8 matches.

Head to Head


Hurricanes have been victorious in their last eight matches against the Highlanders.

Hurricanes Form


The Hurricanes had a poor first half of the campaign, but they have improved since then. They are currently sixth on the Super Rugby table with five wins, a draw and five losses to their name.

With just three games to go, the Canes position in the top eight is hardly secure with ninth just four points off them. However, two successive wins have given the Wellington outfit plenty of confidence.

After losing at home to the Crusaders, the Canes drew against the Western Force. That was followed by an impressive 35-29 win over the Brumbies in Canberra. Last time out the Canes beat the Chiefs 35-17 at home.

Hurricanes Injuries & Team News


Last week, during their bye weekend, the Hurricanes squad was rocked with COVID infections. It is not yet clear how it will affect team selection this weekend, but reports suggest most of the players are back on the field.

Highlanders Form


The Highlanders are second from bottom on the Super Rugby table with just 18 points and three wins this season. While they can still make the playoffs, they will probably need to win their three remaining games at the very least.

However, the Dunedin-based outfit is in horrid form at the moment. They have lost seven of their last eight games, their last win coming on 12 April against Fijian Drua.

Last week, the Highlanders suffered a shock 34-29 loss to Moana on home soil.

Highlanders Injuries & Team News


The Highlanders should be at full strength considering this is their last chance to stake a claim for the playoffs.
