Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett has rewarded the high-scoring line-up that ran rings around the Rebels last week with a start in Sunday’s Super Rugby match against the Waratahs in Sydney.

The Hurricanes scored nine tries in downing the Rebels 66-24 last week, and Hammett has opted to field an unchanged run-on team for the Hurricanes’ last match before the June break.

The two teams haven’t met since 2010, when the Waratahs won 32-16.

The Hurricanes have a non-competition match against the Reds scheduled for June 15 in the mid-season break before they resume against the Crusaders in Christchurch on June 30.

Hurricanes: Andre Taylor, Alapati Leiua, Conrad Smith (captain), Tim Bateman, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito, Jack Lam, Faifili Levave, Jason Eaton, Jeremy Thrush, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Dane Coles, Ben May. Reserves: Motu Matu’u, Reg Goodes, James Broadhurst, Brad Shields, Chris Eaton, Tusi Pisi, Jayden Hayward.
