Moana Pasifika v Hurricanes

Moana Pasifika welcome the Hurricanes to North Harbour Stadium, Auckland, on Saturday, 9 May, as the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season continues with a high-energy New Zealand derby. With momentum and valuable competition points on the line, this fixture promises physicality, pace, and attacking intent.

Moana Pasifika will be eager to make home advantage count. Celebrated for their Pacific flair, powerful ball carriers, and fearless approach, they will look to impose themselves in the collisions and generate front-foot ball through strong carries and breakdown pressure.

The Hurricanes arrive in Auckland with their trademark speed and creativity. Known for their high-tempo attack, quick recycling at the breakdown, and dynamic backline, the Wellington-based side will aim to stretch Moana Pasifika’s defense and capitalize on any turnover opportunities.
