Peranara found the net in the 17th minute during Saturday’s game, leveraging a strong scrum advantage to build a 17-7 lead initially and later scoring again in the 58th minute after the Chiefs briefly took the lead at 23-17.

The momentum shifted once more as Perenara equalized the score with his try, followed by Kini Naholo’s try and Asafo Aumua’s powerful carry for the Hurricanes’ fourth try.
