TOMORROW NIGHT’S match<br />
between the Hurricanes and the<br />
Sharks in Napier will be the last<br />
match at McLean Park before the<br />
excavators move in to rebuild the<br />
oval.<br />
Nominally a home match<br />
for the Hurricanes, it is the last<br />
match at McLean Park before<br />
it gets a new drainage system, a<br />
drop-in cricket block and a new<br />
hybrid turf.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hurricanes travelled<br />
to Melbourne over Easter to<br />
hammer hosts and surprise early<br />
competition leaders the Rebels<br />
50-19, while the Natal-based<br />
Sharks walloped the hapless<br />
Blues 63-40 in Auckland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hurricanes scored seven<br />
tries and the Sharks six, pointing<br />
to the likelihood of try-fest in<br />
Napier similar to the highly<br />
entertaining last two Hurricanes<br />
matches at the park – a 56-21<br />
win over the Brumbies last<br />
year and a 56-20 win over the<br />
Highlanders in 2015.<br />
With the Rebels on a bye this<br />
week, a win for the Hurricanes<br />
will put them into the<br />
competition lead.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have overtaken the<br />
Crusaders as TAB favourites to<br />
win the competition, and are hot<br />
favourites to win on Friday.<br />
With fine weather forecast<br />
during Friday and a mild night<br />
with a light wind, the Hawkes<br />
Bay Rugby Union is hoping that,<br />
with covered seating almost sold<br />
out, the match will fill the Morris<br />
St embankment, and create<br />
possibly the biggest crowd for<br />
any sports event in Hawkes Bay<br />
this year.<br />
Last month Hawkes Bay<br />
Rugby Union chief executive<br />
Jay Campbell said sales for the<br />
match were more than 1000 up<br />
in comparison with the build-up<br />
to last year’s clash between the<br />
Hurricanes and Brumbies. He<br />
said such high-scoring matches<br />
attracted the public and were<br />
well remembered. “I think the<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
crowd last year was about 12,000.<br />
On the way we’re tracking, it<br />
could be more than that.”<br />
Crowd capacity without<br />
extra seating but with the<br />
embankment filled is more than<br />
15,000, a figure which could be<br />
approached if the weather plays<br />
its part.<br />
Meanwhile, the Crusaders face<br />
the Jaguares in Argentina, with<br />
kick off at 9.40am (NZ time).<br />
