Hurricanes vs. Moana Pasifika Predictions

Best Bet
We didn’t have high expectations for Moana Pasifika this season, but after putting on 40 points against the Fijian Drua last week, there could be hope for them.
They play an expansive brand of rugby, as do the Hurricanes, so it could be an open contest on Friday. However, with storms hitting Wellington this week, the ground could chop out, and that could result in a close game.
We expect the game to be kept in the forwards in the early stages before they spin the ball wide in the second half. That will suit Moana, who have a good backline, and it can keep up with the talented Hurricanes roster.
It’s the Hurricanes’ first game of the year, so they’ll need time to shake off the rust. Therefore, back Moana Pasifika to cover the +21.5 spread.

Same Game Multi
We have Fehi Fineanganofo and Israel Leota scoring tries on Friday night. Fineanganofo has six tries from his last five Super Rugby games, and the NZ representative is a short $1.55 favourite to score a try.
Leota makes his Super Rugby debut for the Pasifika, and he has plenty of speed to burn. From a successful rugby family, Leota would be a popular try scorer in Wellington, so take the $2.20 odds.
Under 65.5 points can’t be ignored for Super Rugby same game multi picks. Bookies expect a high scoring contest, but with the ground likely to be shifty, it could be a messy game.

Best Value Bet
Moana Pasifika loves to start the game strongly, and after putting up 40 points on the Drua last week, they are brimming with confidence.
They could catch the Hurricanes off guard, and the $5.25 odds to win the first half are too juicy to pass up. We’re not overlooking the All Black talent in the Hurricanes team, but they can struggle at the start of the year.
Look for the Pasifika to get off to a fast start before being overrun in the second half once they get tired.
