Coach Mark Hammett said the Hurricanes have come home from South Africa with far more than just a bonus point.

He believes gains have been made in the key areas of defence and discipline and that they will bear fruit against the Brumbies.

Hammett said the statistics indicate progress is being made.

The Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 6.35pm this Friday while the Reds will play the Cheetahs at 8.40pm.
