The Hurricanes are confident they will continue to improve as they move into the competition at the end of the Super Rugby season.
The Canes have scrapped by with a number of close victories this season, with the latest, a 29- 23 win over the Sunwolves in Tokyo.
Assistant Coach Jason Holland says, despite the unconvincing performances, they are heading in the right direction.
“Obviously we not playing as well as we like to. We finishing games off and coming from position where we think we might be gone but it’s awesome for our character but we making it four points on the board and stay in the hunt and be in a good spot a few weeks’ time is vital.”
Meanwhile, in this weekend’s super rugby fixtures, Crusaders meet Lions at 7.35pm tomorrow and Sunwolves will then battle Highlanders at 10pm.
On Saturday, Hurricanes play Chiefs at 7.35pm while Waratahs to meet Sharks at 9.45pm.
