Blues v Hurricanes Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Saturday morning provides the pick of the Round 14 fixtures in Super Rugby Pacific, as the first-place Hurricanes take on the third-place Blues at Eden Park.

The Hurricanes won convincingly against the Blues when they met earlier this season in Round 9, but Eden Park has not been a happy hunting ground for the ‘Canes over the years and perhaps this iconic Auckland venue will haunt the Super Rugby Pacific frontrunners again this weekend.

Blues v Hurricanes Tips Summary

Best Bet - Blues to win @ 2.40
Alternative Bet - AJ Lam anytime tryscorer @ 2.25
Bet Builder - Blues to win, over 54.5 total points & Fehi Fineanganofo anytime tryscorer @ 7.50

Blues v Hurricanes Prediction

Best Bet: Blues to win @ 2.40

While the Blues were on the wrong end of a 42-19 scoreline at the Hurricanes earlier this season, the Auckland outfit are a different beast at Eden Park.

Winning all of their last five meetings against the ‘Canes at Eden Park, the Blues look to be great value to claim another victory on Saturday.

With the Blues also winning all of their last four home games at this venue, the hosts are tipped for the win here.

Alternative Bet: AJ Lam anytime tryscorer @ 2.25

AJ Lam catches the eye in the anytime tryscorer market and is tipped to go over for the Blues this weekend.

Scoring in his last game against the Crusaders, Lam now has six tries in 12 appearances this season.

One of those tries came away at the Hurricanes in Round 9 and the 27-year-old is backed to score another try against the Wellington outfit on Saturday.
