Hurricanes prop Neemia Tialata has rubbished claims of a split between the players and coach Mark Hammett.

The Hurricanes have made a horror start to the Super Rugby season, currently sitting last in the New Zealand conference on 12 points.

Tialata says there's no rift with Hammett.

He says there's absolutely nothing wrong between players and the coach.

Tialata says the team is as tight as ever and the ones who should be blamed for their poor start are the players.
