A quartet of tries to winger Josh Moorby has helped the Hurricanes to a strong 50-17 win over Moana Pasifika at a sodden North Harbour Stadium.
While fellow wing Fehi Fineanganofo has been grabbing the headlines this Super Rugby Pacific season, Moorby has also been potent on the right wing, none more so than this match.
He scored tries in the 11th, 22nd, 52nd and 69th minutes, while Fineanganofo missed out this time. He still needs two tries to set a new Super Rugby record of 17 tries.
The scoreline was tough on Moana Pasifika, who were trying for their second win of the season before their likely departure from the competition.
They gave it their all, restricting the Hurricanes to a halftime score of 19-5, but couldn't stop the Canes in the second half.
They never stopped trying, with winger Tuna Tuitama providing their highlight with a try double.
The victory sees the Hurricanes maintain their competition lead, with nine wins in 11 matches.
The Hurricanes play the third-placed Blues next weekend, while Moana have a bye.
