Stormers look a breeze for the Hurricanes

Super Rugby
Sky Sports 3, 8.35am Friday

Since opening their Super Rugby campaign with six wins out of six the Stormers have lost three on the bounce, including two heavy defeats in New Zealand in which they have shipped 17 tries and more than 100 points.

Things have gone from bad to worse for the Cape Town outfit as they prepare to face the Wellington Hurricanes without prop JC Janse van Rensburg, locks Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit, and fly-half Kurt Coleman, who have all had to fly back to South Africa with injuries.

The champion Hurricanes have lost just once this season, are fresh from a bye week and have scrum-half TJ Perenara back in the starting line-up.

This looks a one-sided contest and the Hurricanes can ease clear in the second half.

Recommendation
Hurricanes -11.5 on second-half handicap
