Hurricanes v Highlanders R14 2014

Malakai Fekitoa

How do you pick between the canes and the highlanders? Highlanders have a lot out through injury and judiciary and are playing in the capital but i think i'll back them. 6 wins from 10 games and 3 of them losses by 2 points or less, they could very easily be sitting top of the table.  I think with Leuia out, much as i respect a departing tim bateman, the Canes will miss what has been a feature of NZ teams of late of having one powerhouse in the centres.  We saw the crusaders stutter early season with no Fruean and Lee-lo out of sorts.  While Fekitoa squares up against conrad smith it won't always be one on one and Smith can be caught out by big, straightening centres.  But will be a good match up there and looking to see broadhurst impress. Playoffs crunchtime.
