The Hurricanes bid to be in the super rugby playoffs have been boosted with the return of Victor Vito when they face leaders the Chiefs in their final regular season game.

The Wellington Hurricanes are placed eighth on the table but are one point outside the top six teams.

Captain Conrad Smith, Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea and Cory Jane are expected to combine well in the backline in a must win game for the Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes will face the Chiefs at 7:35pm this Friday.

Other games that will be played this weekend are Bulls against the Lions, Brumbies vs Blues, Crusaders take on the Force, Reds against Waratahs, Stormers meet the Rebels while Sharks will face the Cheetahs.
