The Hurricanes have won their past seven matches against the Highlanders, including an emphatic 47-12 victory on their last visit to Dunedin in 2024, a fixture best remembered for the season-ending knee injury halfback Cam Roigard suffered.

Not a dig at you mate, but I really can't understand what difference the last 7 games the teams have played comes into the reckoning of a future game.
I know a lot do it, including tv pundits etc, just don't understand why.

Because it shows a trend that the Landers have struggled against the Canes for the last wee while. And as a Canes fan it’s nice to see those stats.

But to an extent you’re right, previous games don’t matter, what matters is now and I’m sure tonight’s game is going to be another belter between these two sides. Shame I can’t watch it live, will have to watch the replay later.
