If there has ever been a team that has frustrated the hell out of me it’s the Wellington Hurricanes. On their day they are world beaters but when they are off they can be terrible. I have to say that identifying their good days has not been my forte in the past. This, however, doesn’t mean that I will stop betting on them if I think they represent value. They appear to have a little more starch this year, and they desperately need to win this week to remain a wildcard hope for the Super 15 finals. They will undergo one of the most difficult tests in rugby facing the Crusaders at home, but I think with a healthy head start they represent an excellent bet.
