Hurricanes go ahead in their Super Rugby clash with the Chiefs after a fantastic try from Wilis Halaholo

Fly-half Beauden Barrett spurred the Hurricanes to a 25-9 win over the Chiefs in an all-New Zealand semi-final on Saturday, ensuring the Wellington-based team will host Super Rugby's final for the second consecutive year.

Barrett created the Hurricanes' first try, scored their second and kicked two penalties and two conversions to surpass 200 points for the season and outplay his Chiefs opposite and All Blacks team-mate Aaron Cruden.

The Hurricanes lost captain Dane Coles to a rib injury, a decision made just before kick-off, but overcame that substantial setback to reach the final as top seeds, as they did last year when they were beaten by the Highlanders, who play later in the second semi-final against the Lions.

Barrett had a decisive hand in the game when he intercepted a wayward pass by Chiefs number 8 Sam Cane in the 34th minute and raced 60 meters downfield but it was his quick-thinking and vision that sent team-mate Willis Halaholo over after just six minutes that caught our eyes.
