Hurricanes vs Waratahs Predictions


The Hurricanes desperately need a win while the Waratahs have won four of their five games thus far. However, the Tahs’ four wins have all been at home with their only away game ending in a 20-point loss. I am backing the Hurricanes to cover the -9.5 handicap.

  • Hurricanes have won their last 7 matches against the Waratahs.

Head to Head


Hurricanes have won their last seven matches against the Waratahs.

Hurricanes Form


The Hurricanes have made a slow start to the season and currently find themselves placed eighth on the table. They have just two wins from five games and are on nine points.

The Canes lost on the opening weekend to the Crusaders before a narrow win in round two at home to Fijian Drua. That was followed by a four-point loss at home to the Blues and a nine-point defeat to Moana in round four.

Last weekend, the Hurricanes managed to get a crucial win under the belt, beating the Highlanders 20-18 in Dunedin. After dominating much of the 2024 Super Rugby, the Hurricanes will hope that is a catalyst for a run of good results.

Hurricanes Injuries & Team News


The Hurricanes desperately need this win, so expect their strongest lineup on Friday.

Waratahs Form


The Waratahs are having a superb season after five rounds. They have won four of their games and sit fourth with 17 points.

The Sydney-based outfit beat the Highlanders by a point in round one before securing victories over Fijian Drua and Western Force at home in rounds two and three.

Their only defeat followed at the hands of the Reds but the Tahs’ bounced back in superb fashion last weekend, beating the Brumbies 28-23 at home – their first win in a few years against the Canberra side.

Waratahs Injuries & Team News


After a superb start to the season, the Waratahs will want to keep that momentum going. They will have confidence given the Hurricanes season thus far, but traveling to Wellington is never easy. I expect the Tahs’ to make a few changes.

Verdict

The Hurricanes are backed to cover the -9.5 handicap on home soil.
