It's crunch time in Super Rugby as the Lions host the Hurricanes in the semi-finals. This will be a repeat of last seasons final, which the Hurricanes won 20-3 in Wellington. These sides last met at this venue in the regular season of last year's competition, with the Hurricanes running out emphatic 50-17 winners. If the Lions can avenge those defeats, they will host the Crusaders in the final, whereas if the Hurricanes win they will tackle the Crusaders away.
