MELBOURNE : The Wellington Hurricanes' resurgence in Super Rugby will be put to the test against a rested Waikato Chiefs side when the New Zealand heavyweights collide on Saturday.
They have not defeated any of the major contenders this campaign but now have their chance against the unbeaten Chiefs in a match rescheduled to the afternoon due to a lighting problem at the venue. Winless Moana Pasifika, who joined the competition with Fijian Drua last year, will hope to ignite their season on Friday with their first home game in Samoa against the struggling Queensland Reds.
Injuries to captain-flanker Liam Wright and inside centre Isaac Henry have added to Thorn's woes and forced playmaker James O'Connor to plug a hole at inside centre.
