Cats blown away by Hurricanes

A PAIR of first-half tries from the irrepressible Lome Fa’atau helped the Hurricanes maintain their sound start to the Super 14 season with a 29-16 victory over the Cats.

Fa’atau and All Blacks Chris Masoe and Isaia Toeava all scored to give the Wellington outfit a bonus point.

The Hurricanes trailed going into the last five minutes of the first half, but two tries in as many minutes saw them gain the interval advantage.
