According to the TAB, a punter has put $100,000 on the Hurricanes to win at Eden Park. The odds are set at $1.23, meaning the punter would take home $23,000. The Blues are $4 outsiders.

It's almost a year since the Blues won a Super Rugby game at Eden Park, last tasting a home victory against the Cheetahs on May 12 last year.

Since then, the Blues have played the Chiefs twice, Sharks, Highlanders and Jaguares at home, drawing the first then losing four straight.

They've beaten the Hurricanes just once in their last five outings and haven't beaten a fellow New Zealand since 2016.
