The Hurricanes have slaughtered the Sunwolves 62-15 to claim their third win at McLean Park.

Debutant South African winger Kobus van Wyk and fullback Chase Tiatia both bagged two first-half tries as their side raced out to a 28-10 halftime lead.

Van Wyk completed his hat-trick in an effortless fashion when strolling over the line for one of the Hurricanes' six second-half tries.

Ben Lam, TJ Perenara, Gareth Evans, Ngani Laumape and Vince Aso each scored a try.

Meanwhile, the Reds will take on the Lions at 8.15 tonight, the Stormers will face the Blues at 1.05am tomorrow while the Jaguares will play the Bulls at 3.15am tomorrow.
