And this is not, I'm not saying these guys are, but the Hurricanes kind of came in with Feningi Nofu, Harkin and Morby, you know, at the start of the season.

None of them were sort of anyone's Raiders around All Blacks or anything like that.

But for a team that's had so many superstars in those positions, it is kind of ironic.

They seem to be playing their best rugby when they have these guys who are in a position to be a bit more hungry about how they're going about it.

And another coach you didn't mention there, Jason Holland.

Of course.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think he might well be the sort of little magic difference.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, Alfie.

Yeah, yeah.

I should have mentioned that.

But it is interesting that him coming back, I don't think it's a coincidence that the Hurricanes are doing what they're doing.

Well it's the big one this Saturday night right here at Eden Park, Hurricanes Blues.

So yeah, that's one that may well propel them up into top spot.

That result obviously keeps them in top spot.

It keeps Moana, unfortunately, down at the bottom where it's likely they'll stay as we really sadly just count down the days until they no longer exist.

I thought they actually looked pretty competitive for a while.

The conditions kind of tended to suit them a little bit.

They tried that tricky Ressie Erasmus line out play.
