THE PREDICTION

Highlanders will hope for greater consistency on the back of their bye week having lost two of their three matches to date in Super Rugby Aotearoa. They were on the end of a heavy loss to the Blues last time out but this clash with winless Hurricanes presents them with a brilliant chance to make an immediate return to winning ways. The Hurricanes were disappointingly beaten by the Chiefs last week and they have now conceded at least 31 points in each on their three defeats so far this campaign. Those defensive woes are a big worry ahead of this contest and the hosts can capitalise to come out on top.
