Best Bet

Hurricanes –13.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Hurricanes are one of the best attacking teams in Super Rugby, which could make it a long day for the Fijian Drua.

The Canes kicked off their campaign with a 52-10 win over the Pasifika last week after sitting out Week 1, and that was an emphatic way to start the season. They piled on the points after trailing early, and there was no slowing them down in the second half.

Defence is a big worry for the Drua, who played tough early against the Waratahs last week. However, as we always see with the Drua, they didn’t play the full 80 minutes, and that’s why we’re backing the Hurricanes to cover the –13.5 spread.

It’s not a big number for a team coming off a 52-point performance.

Same Game Multi

Hurricanes –13.5, Fehi Fineanganofo Anytime Try Scorer, Billy Proctor Anytime Try Scorer, Over 56.5 @ $11.50

Bet Now

The best value is with Hurricanes players, and the odds are better than expected for two noted try scorers.

Fehi Fineanganofo scored a double last week, and we priced him at $1.55 to score this week. Punters get $1.75 with our bookmakers, so it could pay to snap up the odds and include him in Super Rugby same game multis.

The same goes for Billy Proctor, who has three tries from his last four games, including a try last week. The $2.30 odds are excellent for an in-form player, in what should be a high-scoring game. Therefore, over 56.5 points is also worth including.

Best Value Bet

Fehi Fineanganofo First Try Scorer @ $9.25

Bet Now

Fineanganofo is a good chance of getting the Hurricanes off to a fast start, and the 23-year-old has more confidence than most young players.

He’s a former 7s player, and New Zealand has a long history of 7s players eventually playing for the All Blacks. Fineanganofo is someone who could go to another level, so he’s a player worth including in picks.

Back him to score the opening try at generous odds.
