This Saturday is the Hurricanes’ penultimate game of 2020, and their final home game of Investec Super Rugby Aotearoa. canes v chiefs rugby online tv coverage
Prediction: There is almost nothing riding on this game in terms of the competition title. Almost. The Hurricanes need to bonus-point wins from their last two games in order for a potential tie at the top of the table with either the Crusaders or the Blues. That would then see the teams separated by points differential, where the Canes also have some making up to do, on -7 compared to the Blues’ +27 and Crusaders’ +61. So expect the home side to be all guns blazing in trying to score at least three more tries than the Chiefs, who will be desperately trying to ensure they don’t finish the competition winless. Their franchise-record eight-game (including one pre-lockdown) run of defeats is closing in on the worst losing streak by a New Zealand Super Rugby side, which is the 11 by the Highlanders across 2012-13.
