Hurricanes will be hungry when they take on the Tahs tonight

The Hurricanes are in the midst of an injury crisis at hooker but they will be hungry to atone for their first loss of the season, as they get ready to take on the Waratahs tonight.

The big theme coming out of their camp this week was that they didn’t match up physically against the Brumbies so watch out Waratahs.

The Sydneysiders have only won two games this season, both against the battling Crusaders.

stuff.co.nz says it’s hard to see a team that lost to the Highlanders causing any troubles for a fired-up Hurricanes team.

Hurricanes coach, Clark Laidlaw says the Brumbies were embarrassed with how they played against the Blues and they came out fizzing and they beat the Canes to the jump physically and the Canes lost.

Hurricanes flanker, Du’Plessis Kirifi says the loss almost relieves the pressure that was building around being unbeaten and that’s potentially a good thing.

The Hurricanes host the Waratahs at 7.05 tonight while the Blues meet the Rebels at 9.35pm.

In other games, Moana Pasifika play the Highlanders in Tonga at 2.05pm tomorrow, the Crusaders play the Reds at 4.35pm, the Chiefs meet the Force at 7.05pm tomorrow, while the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua play the Brumbies at 9.35pm in Canberra.
