Super Rugby Round 12 HIGHLIGHTS: Hurricanes v Lions

The Hurricanes made it eight wins in a row with a 28-19 home win over the Lions in round 12 of Super Rugby. The Hurricanes dominated both territory and possession in the first half as they ran in two tries to lead 14-0, but the Lions hit back on the stroke of halftime with their opening try to trail just 14-7 at the break. Two early second half tries saw the Hurricanes take control at 28-7. The Lions responded with their second score to make it 28-12 heading into the final quarter. A scrappy finish saw the Lions bag a late third try, but the Hurricanes victory keeps them within touching distance of the Conference leading Crusaders with a game in hand.
