Chiefs -15.5 @ 3.60 Centrebet
Hurricanes in some problems with Nonu and Hore not wanted for next year, so doubt that they will play, and if so, may not be in the right mood to play. The 'canes have been inconsistent and with Smith also out, cannot see how they will cope with the pace of Sivivatu, Muliaina and Masaga, as their defence has been porous during the year and have allowed 28 points to the Force and 27 points to the Lions in winning their last 2 games. The Chiefs will make them pay, as they have won 3 of their last 4 games, and pushed the Crusaders all the way. Hard to see the Hurricanes containing them here, and with the Chiefs back row (Messam, Latimer and Lee) driving through the rucks, Chiefs look too strong here.
