Hurricanes wary of potent Highlander’s attack

Hurricanes captain Conrad Smith says that they will need to “play a lot better than they did against the Brumbies” when they face the Highlanders in the Super Rugby final.

The Hurricanes comfortably beat the Brumbies to reach the final.

Hurricanes captain Smith and Highlanders captain Nasi Manu both admit that they fear their opponents attacking power.

Manu says that the Hurricanes have a star‑studded pack that can start an attack from anywhere in the park.

Hurricanes captain Conrad Smith says the Highlanders are so powerful in their attack that the Wellington side will not be able to afford to make the mistakes they did against the Brumbies in the final.

Meanwhile, Highlanders captain Nasi Manu will contest the final with one eye almost entirely closed due to a muscle not functioning correctly.

Manu says the muscle in the eye lid has stopped working, it doesn't want to open.

The Hurricanes will take on the Highlanders at 7.35 tonight in the Super Rugby final.
