The Hurricanes are set to face off against the Crusaders in Round 9 of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season this Friday as they look to bounce back after a loss.
The Hurricanes suffered a 19-18 defeat against the Blues last week and are currently seventh in the ladder. Moreover, they have struggled against their next opponents, the Crusaders, winning just two of their last six meetings.
However, the Hurricanes have a formidable record at the Sky Stadium - winning 10 out of their last 12 Super Rugby games at the venue. Notably, both their wins over the Crusaders recently came in the last three encounters.

In the last round, the Crusaders eased past Fijian Drua in a 31-14 victory while jumping to second in the ladder and are just two points behind the leaders, Chiefs.

Hurricanes vs. Crusaders start time This Super Rugby match takes place at Sky Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand, and kicks off on Friday, April 11 at 7:05 p.m. local time (NZST). History suggests the Wellington rematch between the Hurricanes and Crusaders will be tight. The last three meetings between the two New Zealand teams at Sky Stadium have been decided by three points or less.
The Hurricanes coughed up a lead and lost 33-25 when the two teams met in Christchurch in round one after fading in the second half and have struggled for consistency during an injury-plagued campaign. Hurricanes v Crusaders: what you need to know Can the Canes bounce back from their disappointing one-point loss to the Blues last weekend? It won't be easy against a Crusaders side that tasted victory for the first time in Fiji and seem to be over their shock loss to Moana Pasifika.
That loss meant the Hurricanes sit seventh and will be starting to anxiously look at their remaining draw and what games they have to win in order to safely make it into the play-offs. Meanwhile, the Crusaders are up in second and could potentially take over the top spot if the Chiefs slip up against the Waratahs later tonight.
