[Dane Coles](https://www.rugbypass.com/players/dane-coles/)– 7 – The Super Rugby veteran scored a try off the bench. Lomax was incredibly solid at the scrum, and did his core job to a very high standard. The Hurricanes scrum was dominant at times throughout the opening 40 minutes, and Xavier Numia was a big reason as to why. [Cameron Roigard](https://www.rugbypass.com/players/cameron-roigard/) stole the show on Friday night with a double, and this obviously went a long way to earning him a 9 rating – but it wasn’t everything. Roigard won the race to the ball, but still had plenty of work to do. After a strong start to the season, Roigard really came of age against the Waratahs. But, as the defenders neared, the rising star decided to kick the ball – and sent his attempt into touch on the full. In the leadup to Kini Naholo’s first try, Cameron popped up on the right side of the field and made an impressive break deep into the Waratahs 22. Barrett finished with a nine point haul, in what was a difficult night off the tee in windy Wellington. When the Hurricanes needed to send the ball wide – and quickly – Proctor was their man. But it’s his six passes which somewhat define the importance of his outing in the No. It was a hard-fought contest throughout the first half, as the Canes went into the break with a tense five-point.
Following the Hurricanes' impressive 34-17 win over the Waratahs on Friday in Super Rugby Pacific, Planet Rugby has selected five takeaways from the clash.
Ben Donaldson is a great player, and shifting him to fly-half was to make space for an exciting back-three which is all good and well but if there is no balance, the effectiveness of the backline is reduced. However, slow-motion replays showed Jorgensen somehow managed to ground the ball in an amazing effort. There is still a way to go to reach the top, though. His distribution is sound, kicking game more than adequate, but what is interesting to see is the X-factor he brings. The hosts took the game away from the [Waratahs](https://www.planetrugby.com/team/waratahs/) with two tries in four minutes courtesy of Cam Roigard and Kini Naholo, brother of former All Black Waisake. The Hurricanes were calm and made their tackles for the most part, just keeping themselves in the game.

While Waratahs five-eighth Ben Donaldson managed only one from two difficult shots in the opening 40 minutes, All Blacks superstar Beauden Barrett slotted a penalty and converted both of the Hurricanes' tries - from Kini Naholo and halfback Cam Roigard, who both ended the match with doubles. With destructive, inspirational skipper Ardea Savea on a mission in his return from suspension, the Hurricanes kept the Waratahs scoreless for much of the second half en route to a 34-17 victory in windy Wellington on Friday night. Another eye-catching display from teenage son of a gun Max Jorgensen hasn't saved the NSW Waratahs from a worrying third Super Rugby Pacific defeat from four starts to open the season.
