The Hurricanes host the Rebels at the earlier time of 5.30pm this Saturday at Westpac Stadium. The Rebels are coming off back to back wins against the Crusaders and the Force leading up to this clash. Meanwhile the Hurricanes will be seeking a win on home ground before heading to Sydney to take on the Waratahs before their June break.
This Saturday kids tickets will be $7 for all categories at the game – platinum, silver and bronze tickets. To add to the entertainment there will be a curtain raiser between Horowhenua Kapiti and Wairarapa Bush. The two Heartland teams will be playing for the PGG Wrightson Challenge Cup.
