Newest first, from Hurricanes's own point of view. Home and away are as the record stores them; a fixture the record does not mark neutral is listed as one side's home, which is right for a league round and wrong for a final played at a third ground.
Biggest win: 67-5 v Fijian Drua
Heaviest defeat: 14-47 v Crusaders
No recent result connects Hurricanes to the ranked field, so their rating sits on a scale that cannot be compared with it.
Teams that play alike sit close together. The two axes hold 72% of the variation between teams. Component 1 (46%) rises with more average margin and win rate. Component 2 (25%) rises with more high-scoring matches and margin swing.
52 of 84 teams sit too close together to name without covering another team's point, so they are drawn unlabelled. Every dot is still a link to that team, and hovering one names it.
