Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the ACT Brumbies v Hurricanes Super Rugby Pacific clash at Canberra's GIO Stadium.
This looms as a classic grudge match between the capital cities of trans-Tasman rival nations, with both teams currently the highest-ranked from their respective countries.
The Hurricanes are still unbeaten, seeking their ninth win of their campaign, but despite their comprehensive defeat to the Blues last week, the Brumbies are a much different proposition on home turf.
Victory to the home team could herald a changing of the guard at the top of the table. The Blues could take over the competition lead with a bonus-point win over Queensland Reds later tonight.
Join us at 4:30pm for kickoff.
TAB Odds: Hurricanes $1.47, Brumbies $2.80, Draw $16
