Hurricanes unlikely Beliebers

The Hurricanes have done Justin Bieber proud after performing an acoustic cover of Love Yourself on the street.

Ardie Savea led the group of players on vocals, including James Marshall and Loni Uhila on backup vocals.

"This is for all the people who need to love yourself, love yourself," explained Savea.

The Hurricanes take on the Southern Kings in Wellington on Friday night. It will be the first home game for the Canes in 2016, after playing in Canberra, Dunedin, Auckland and Palmerston North.
