Lam was the star of the show as the Wellington franchise outscored the Rebels by seven tries to one in a 50-19 win at AAMI Park.

A spirited first half saw the Rebels take a 19-8 advantage after 30 minutes, thanks to a converted try from lock Matt Philip and four Jack Debreczeni penalties.

The Hurricanes would reply in stunning fashion, crossing for four tries in the second spell and putting up 42 unanswered points in a dominant second-half display.

Ben Lam grabbed two tries in each half, and finished with more points (20) than the Melbourne side altogether, as did Beauden Barrett who scored a try, kicked three penalties and three conversions in the win.

Chris Boyd’s side will take on the Sharks next week in Napier as they look to strengthen their grip atop the New Zealand conference.

The Rebels will be looking to regroup over their bye week.

HURRICANES 50 (Lam 4, B. Barrett, Evans, Laumape tries, B. Barrett 3 cons, 3 pens) REBELS 19 (Philip try, Debreczeni 4 pens, con) HT 8-19
