The Hurricanes secured a hard-fought 31-23 victory over the Western Force at McLean Park. After a tense first half, with the Force initially leading thanks to a penalty and a try from Lancaster, the Hurricanes responded with a try from Roigard, making it 10-8 at halftime. In the second half, the Hurricanes surged ahead with quick tries from Shields, Flanders, and Harkin, helped by Jordie Barrett's precise conversions.
