<\/p>\nFollowing a 38-31 victory over the Crusaders in the Super Rugby Pacific clash at Hnry Stadium on Friday, here are the player ratings for the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n
15 Callum Harkin: Not a huge amount of opportunity to show his playmaking skills but he was solid under the high ball, which was key when you consider the struggles the Crusaders had aerially. 6<\/p>\n
14 Josh Moorby: Injected himself into the game with a superb line for his try but Moorby didn\u2019t get his hands on the ball too much outside of that. 6<\/p>\n
13 Billy Proctor: His touches were limited but they were still influential, including his work for Moorby\u2019s try as he pressurised in the air before collecting the ball and sending Peter Lakai free, who duly provided the scoring pass for the wing. 7<\/p>\n
12 Jordie Barrett (cc): Not quite at his brilliant best, but Barrett was still in fine form as he proved to be a focal point in the backline. Ruben Love might be the 10 but the All Blacks centre still dictates a lot of what they do. 7<\/p>\n
Standout moment<\/p>\n
11 Fehi Fineanganofo: Always looked threatening when the ball came his way but the game was generally played closer to the ruck and Fineanganofo didn\u2019t get the space he enjoys in the opening hour. However, exploded into life with a superb run before he collected Isaia Walker-Leawere\u2019s return pass to touch down. A player the All Blacks will regret losing. 7<\/p>\n
10 Ruben Love: Struggled a bit early in but grew into the game and showed some nice touches. Whether it\u2019s All Blacks worthy, we\u2019re not quite so sure with Love a facilitator rather than the main decision-maker \u2013 that was chiefly Barrett and Roigard. 6<\/p>\n
9 Cam Roigard: Superb for the most part. It was his battle with Noah Hotham proved to be a crucial differentiator between the sides. Roigard was absolute class, controlling play at the base and injecting tempo into the game when necessary, while his vision enabled him to touch down late in the first half. 9<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
8 Peter Lakai: Was one of the Hurricanes\u2019 primary carriers as he did job his well enough. Made metres with ball in hand, set up Moorby\u2019s score and altogether had a decent impact on the encounter. 7<\/p>\n
7 Du\u2019Plessis Kirifi (cc): Got it wrong early on at the breakdown but Kirifi\u2019s influence grew as the game wore on, earning a crucial penalty turnover in the second period. 7<\/p>\n
6 Brayden Iose: A lovely kick through for Roigard\u2019s try but Iose was the quietest of the starting lose trio so it was no surprise to see him replaced early in the second half. 6<\/p>\n
Solid shifts<\/p>\n
5 Warner Dearns: Has enjoyed a superb season since moving from Japan, but this was one of Dearns\u2019 least influential games. Some good work close to the ruck as the Brave Blossom did his core duties well enough, but he\u2019s had more spectacular displays. 6<\/p>\n
4 Caleb Delany: Similar to Dearns, the nuts and bolts helped set a platform for the Hurricanes in what was a solid shift, but there weren\u2019t any big moments. 6<\/p>\n
3 Pasilio Tosi: The scrum was barely a factor which meant Tosi\u2019s good work came around the field. The tighthead\u2019s breakdown turnover helped set up Kirifi\u2019s try as he did some good work on both sides of the ball. 7<\/p>\n
2 Asafo Aumua: Fundamentals were strong and that was shown when Raymond Tuputupu came on, with the replacement struggling in the lineout. Aumua was surprisingly quiet elsewhere, however, and only made it to half-time. 6<\/p>\n
1 Xavier Numia: Mostly made his presence felt after the interval with some powerful carrying and that was important in helping the hosts keep the Crusaders at arm\u2019s length. 7<\/p>\n
Replacements: As intimated, it was mixed from Tuputupu, who had his set-piece issues but was explosive in the loose. Elsewhere, Devan Flanders continued his fine form while Ere Enari kept the tempo high, but they were the best of a relatively mediocre bunch. 6<\/p>\n
