Victor Vito is on track for a dream farewell when he plays his 100th and final game for the Hurricanes in Saturdays Super Rugby final, hoping to deliver the franchise the parting gift of a maiden title.It certainly seems like the scripts been written a little bit, loose forward Vito said on Monday, ahead of the home clash with the Lions at Wellingtons Westpac Stadium.The 33-Test All Black heads for France to play for La Rochelle later this month.A hundred games is pretty massive for me personally, but for me Im just more excited about the fact that once again we are giving ourselves shot to win a title as a team.He wasnt thinking about the possibility of the side losing two finals in two years, after last years defeat by the Highlanders.Last year was last year and this years team is a completely different team, said Vito.That sort of thing probably would have hung around a little bit if we had pretty much the same team.But its quite a different feel this year, its no better or worse, its just different.I think the cultures been building for the last few years and if anything, the teams before, especially last years team just instilled that belief.The departure of All Blacks centre stalwarts Maa Nonu and Conrad Smith and the loss through injury of Nehe Milner-Skudder meant there were some green players, Vito said.Theyve all just put their hands up and I think thats been the biggest thing thats made us happy as a team.Even though guys have gone down they have just slotted in.Long-time teammate Cory Jane described Vito as a hell of a player and said the chance for him to get to 100 matches was in the back of players minds when they beat the Chiefs in their semi-finals.
