The Wellington Hurricanes defeat the Waikato Chiefs 60-5 to win the Super Rugby Pacific title. Multiple reports describe a dominant performance that leaves the Chiefs with minimal reply, with Hurricanes scoring heavily throughout the match. Reports detail a first-half surge that gives the Hurricanes a commanding 29-0 lead at halftime, then a second-half surge that extends the margin further as the Hurricanes “blow away” the Chiefs.
Individual try-scoring is highlighted across sources, including Ruben Love and Josh Moorby, who both score two tries, along with tries credited to Fehi Fineanganofo and Callum Harkin. The Hurricanes’ win comes at Wellington’s “Cake Tin” stadium, where the team secures a second Super Rugby title after a lengthy wait. Earlier coverage in the set also notes the Hurricanes book their final place with a second-half demolition of the Auckland Blues, setting up the championship match against the Chiefs.
