Hurricanes vs Reds Preview
The Reds pulled off the dirtiest of backdoor covers last weekend, kicking a late penalty to reduce the deficit against the Blues to seven points and cover the +8.5 point handicap.
All things considered it was an impressive effort considering they lost their key playmaker in James O’Connor a few hours before kickoff and were on the back foot for most of the 80 minutes.
The Hurricanes put themselves behind the eight ball by losing in Canberra last week and sliding down to fourth place.
For them to make the final, they will need to beat the Reds and hope that two of the Blues, Highlanders and Crusaders lose.
While it does not seem overly likely, the Hurricanes will do all they can to make it happen and I can see them just having too much run for a Reds side that will be ready to head into the offseason.
