With a finals place on the line, Moana players are urged to channel the hurt after their mauling by the Chiefs
After 15 rounds of Super Rugby action, it all comes down to the last home and way game of the season for Moana Pasifika against the Hurricanes at the Cake Tin in Wellington.
It's win or bust, do or die, for head coach Tana Umaga and his team, if they are to make finals for the first time in the short history of the franchise.
And it was all going so well for Moana, with three wins in a row, but then carnage when they were torn apart by the Chiefs a week ago.
So coach Tana's task, together with his inspirational captain Ardie Savea, has been to re-energise the team ahead of their biggest game yet.
And to do that he says his players have to feel the pain of what was a humiliating defeat in Hamilton, and seek redemption against the Hurricanes.
