The man simply can’t stop scoring.
NZ Rugby will be rueing letting Fehi Fineanganofo go, with the try scoring machine heading north at the end of the season.
The Hurricanes winger was again in sensational form against the Brumbies, scoring a quartet of tries, his third hat-trick of 2026, as his side brutalised the Brumbies 45-12.
Fineanganofo’s first strike came after just seven minutes, with his second seeing him bounce through three Brumbies tacklers.
The third and fourth showcased his scorching speed and he skinned the Brumbies cover to take his tally to 14 for the year.
Also bagging a brace was Josh Moorby, with Jone Rova driving in the final nail, seven tries between the wingers seeing the Hurricanes comfortably home and on top of the Super Rugby Pacific ladder.
Here’s how it happened.
