Review
The Hurricanes have thrilled their home crowd with seven scintillating tries on the way to 41-15 win over the Highlanders.
Six of the team's tries went to the backs with second five Ngani Laumape and wing Vince Aso grabbing a brace and fullback Jordie Barrett producing some memorable assists in front of fans at Westpac Stadium.
The Hurricanes third win from four matches sees the team head into their bye round in good health, third on the New Zealand Conference ladder behind the unbeaten Chiefs and Crusaders.
