Despite the current weather situation in New Zealand, tonight’s pre‑season Super Rugby game between the Super Rugby Champions, Crusaders and Hurricanes in Greymouth is set to go ahead.

Crusaders CEO Hamish Riach says they’re keeping a close eye on things on the West Coast.

The region was hit hard by Cyclone Fehi yesterday, with the Buller District facing a major clean up after a number of homes were flooded with seawater and wastewater.

Riach is hoping the forecast is spot on, so those that in the region affected by the cyclone can enjoy an evening watching the defending champion Crusaders take on the 2016 winners the Hurricanes.

The teams are joint-favourites with the bookies to win this year's Super Rugby competition.

The match will kick-off at 4.30pm.
