Welcome to our coverage of this highly important final game of the Super Rugby regular season between the Hurricanes and the Crusaders. This encounter represents the final match of the Super Rugby regular season and the result will impact upon the path each team takes during the play-offs. A win for the Canes will see them face the Brumbies in Canberra, while defeat would mean a tripe to South Africa to face the Stormers. The Crusaders need a win to secure a home advantage throughout the playoffs and to determine if they will play the Sharks or the Highlanders in their Quarter Final next weekend. This should be a cracker between two teams that have been in fine form this season.
Should be great
