Contenders or pretenders? 

The Hurricanes and Highlanders will find out which tag fits in Dunedin tonight.

It is arguably the most intriguing New Zealand conference derby of the season with both sides having as much to gain as they do to lose in the battle for the Super Rugby playoffs.

For the neutral fan it could be difficult viewing. 

Both sides have captured the public’s imagination this season as they’ve backed up words with actions to match.

Highlanders take on the Hurricanes at 7.35pm, Rebels face the Crusaders at 9.40. 

Tomorrow morning Sharks meet the Force at 3.05, Stormers and Cheetahs play at 5.10am and at 6.10pm Reds take on the Chiefs.
 
Meanwhile, looking at the results Blues defeated the Lions 25-3 and Bulls snatched victory over the Waratahs by 27-24.
