Having finished as runners-up in the last three Super Rugby Pacific seasons, the Chiefs will have another shot at glory on Saturday morning when they face the Hurricanes in the Grand Final at Hnry Stadium.
The Chiefs have had the unwanted tag of nearly men of the last three campaigns, but they have the chance to finally get their hands on the trophy in Wellington this weekend.
Hurricanes v Chiefs Tips Summary
Best Bet - Chiefs to win @ 2.70
Alternative Bet - Damian McKenzie anytime tryscorer @ 3.40
Bet Builder - Fehi Fineanganofo & Kyren Taumoefolau anytime tryscorers @ 4.75
Hurricanes v Chiefs Prediction
Best Bet: Chiefs to win @ 2.70
While the Chiefs have had to deal with more than their fair share of Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final heartbreak, the Hamilton outfit will have learned from those three final defeats.
Taking on a Hurricanes side who have not been to a Grand Final for a decade, the Chiefs are good value to finally lift the trophy.
Winning at Hnry Stadium won’t be easy but the Chiefs have a good record against the Hurricanes, winning seven of their last 10 meetings.
Earning a 22-17 extra-time win over the Hurricanes when these teams last met in Round 10, the Chiefs are well priced at 2.70 to secure the victory in 80 minutes on Saturday.
Alternative Bet: Damian McKenzie anytime tryscorer @ 3.40
Such an influential figure in the No.10 jersey for the Chiefs, Damian McKenzie has often been a thorn in the Hurricanes’ side.
Scoring 205 points over the course of his career against the ‘Canes, McKenzie has only scored more against one other side (Crusaders, 222 points).
McKenzie has never been afraid to go for the try line from fly-half and having scored five tries in 10 appearances for the Chiefs this season, the New Zealand international is great value in the anytime tryscorer market at 3.40.
