Eight days on from the cyclone that whipped through the region, 15 Hurricanes are forecast to hit Napier.
I'm talking Super Rugby's round 9 clash between the Hurricanes and Brumbies scheduled for McLean Park this Friday.
Despite the much talked about Kiwi dominance against Australian teams in this year's competition, this promises to be a mouth-watering match up with the home team (and current champions) taking on the two-time winners and last year's Australian Conference champions.
The Canes last game at McLean Park was a 2015 fixture against the Highlanders, where they won the high scoring match 56-20. For whatever reason, most of this park's Super matches tend to be absolute belters.
To boot, form fosters fans, and hence the Hurricanes are sure to attract a huge muster on Friday night.
