The Hurricanes will be keen to cement their place amongst the tournament's frontrunners when they host the Sunwolves in Wellington tomorrow.
The 2016 champions will fancy their chances against the Japanese outfit as these sides have faced each other just once before and the Hurricanes dominated that match from start to finish and eventually secured an 83‑17 victory in Tokyo last year.
By contrast, the Sunwolves are languishing at the bottom of the Australian Conference, as well as the overall standings, having lost all eight of their matches so far this season.
The Hurricanes play the Sunwolves at 7.35pm tomorrow.
On Saturday, the Stormers face the Rebels at 5.10am, the Blues take on the Jaguares at 7.35pm while the Brumbies face the Crusaders at 9.45pm.
On Sunday, the Bulls take on the Highlanders at 3.15am.
