Scrumhalf TJ Perenara moved level as the most prolific try-scorer in Super Rugby history as the Hurricanes beat the Chiefs on Saturday.

The Hurricanes maintained their perfect seven-from-seven start to the season, out-scoring the visitors five tries to two in a 36-23 victory in Wellington, including a brace to veteran All Black Perenara.It’s the same figure as his former Hurricanes teammate Julian Savea, who scored a try on Friday for the victorious Moana Pasifika against the Queensland Reds.

With his team trailing by six, Perenara’s second try sparked a storming Hurricanes finish, including five-pointers to winger Kini Naholo and powerhouse hooker Asafo Aumua. “It’s not often you can roll a bench on that changes a game like that,” he said. “Each week now, our impact players are taking our game to another level.”
