It hadn't looked promising when the Hurricanes trailed 8-0 at the 22-minute mark, Rene Ranger showing nice skill and touch to finish aerially in the right corner for the Blues, on the back of Ihaia West's early penalty. But the Canes worked their game back gradually and eventually earned a gritty, gutsy, defence-minded but meritorious Friday night 23-19 victory over the Blues at Eden Park.
