HURRICANES STORM INTO FINALS:

The Hurricanes showed great disipline witch produced a 16-14 victory over the Waratahs in Wellington. Its the Canes 2nd win over the Tahs on back to back weekends, so there shouldn't be any complaints from the Aussies, they were beaten by the better side on both occasions.

It was an outstanding, and historic, result for the Hurricanes after their magnificent defensive effort against the Waratahs in Sydney last week.
Westpac Stadium, which has waited since it was first built for such a moment, lapped up the prospect of its side making a Super rugby final for the first time.

Hurricanes replacement fly-half Jimmy Gopperth slotted a 50-metre penalty eight minutes from time to secure the win.

It was a match of high intensity, especially in the first half. In both halves the Hurricanes started well, went on a dip and then finished in charge. The end was a long, long two minutes. That was where great disipline was needed and they did it.

Their opponents if the final, will be determined on Saturday when the Crusaders host the Bulls in Christchurch.
