Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett remains defiant in the wake of yet another loss, this time 17 16 to the Brumbies in Canberra.

Copping it from all quarters, Hammett it’s a hollow, lonely and a bloody horrible feeling.

The former Crusader said he was under no illusions about the criticism being directed at himself and his players.

Hurricanes sit last in the New Zealand conference, with five losses in six matches, and are now on the worst losing streak in the franchise’s history.

Meanwhile looking at the results over the weekend the Queensland Reds ended the Stormers unbeaten run in Super 15 rugby with a 19 6 win on Saturday.

Crusaders defeated Bulls 27-0 while Waratahs hammered Western Force 31-3.
