Hurricanes v Blues Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Hnry Stadium will set the stage for the second Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals in another all-Kiwi affair, as the Hurricanes host the Blues in Wellington.

The Hurricanes were the standout team during the Super Rugby Pacific regular season and finished 17 points ahead of the Blues at the final count.

Having earned comprehensive wins over the Blues in their last couple of meetings, another one-sided game might well be on the cards again this weekend in the Kiwi capital.

Hurricanes v Blues Tips Summary

Best Bet - Hurricanes -15.5 handicap @ 1.91
Alternative Bet - Josh Moorby anytime tryscorer @ 1.80
Bet Builder - Hurricanes to win, Fehi Fineanganofo & AJ Lam anytime tryscorers @ 4.75

Hurricanes v Blues Prediction

Best Bet: Hurricanes -15.5 handicap @ 1.91

The Blues come into this semi-final in miserable form and it’s hard to see the Auckland outfit turning things around against the ‘Canes.

Losing all of their last four games, the Blues are down in the dumps, while the Hurricanes have won six of their last seven matches.

The Hurricanes have won their last two meetings with the Blues by an exact margin of 23 points, so the hosts are backed to cover the -15.5 handicap on offer here.

Alternative Bet: Josh Moorby anytime tryscorer @ 1.80

Hitting some great form at the business end of the season, Josh Moorby is certainly worth considering in the anytime tryscorer market.

Scoring nine tries in his last seven appearances, Moorby has been a standout performer for the ‘Canes and, playing on the right wing on Saturday, the 27-year-old is tipped to add at least one more try to his 13 scored this season.
