The Hurricanes outmuscled the vastly improved Sunwolves with a 43‑15 bonus point win to take them to the top of the Super Rugby standings in Wellington last night.

The Hurricanes tries were scored by Vince Aso, Jordie Barrett, Finlay Christie, Reed Prinsep, Julian Savea, Brad Shields and Beauden Barrett.

In another match the Stormers defeated the Rebels 34-18.
