The New Zealand Conference powerhouse continues to roll on.

New Zealand's five franchises have been dominating the other conferences in Super Rugby this season with 14 straight wins after another clean sweep over the weekend.

The majority of those wins have come against the Australian Conference.

New Zealand teams are 11‑0 against their Australian counterparts this season following four victories over the weekend.

It's that bad that the two‑win Brumbies and their points tally of 11, enough to lead the Australian Conference, would place them well at the bottom of the New Zealand Conference.

The last Aussie side to win across this side of the Tasman was the Waratahs against the Hurricanes in round 10 in 2015.

The Crusaders have already beaten four Australian sides this season and if they beat the winless Rebels on May 27th they will clean sweep the Aussie Conference for the second straight year.

They last lost to an Australian team in 2015.

This weekend, the Hurricanes will take on the Waratahs at 7.35pm Friday.
