    Changes at first-five in three kiwi Super Rugby sides, while Riley Hohepa has held on to his 10 jersey for the Hurricanes as they welcome the Crusaders on Friday night

    Changes at first-five in three kiwi Super Rugby sides, while Riley Hohepa has held on to his 10 jersey for the Hurricanes as they welcome the Crusaders on Friday night


    Hurricanes coach Clark Laidlaw suggested yesterday they were considering moving Ruben Love there from fullback but has instead stuck with Hohepa after a tough outing against the Blues.

    Laidlaw - today - says they are confident it's the right combo.



    The Crusaders will be without All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor as coach Rob Penney explains.



    Cam Millar returns from an injury layoff at 10 for the Highlanders as they host the Drua.

    Moana Pasifika have surprisingly recalled Jackson Garden-Bachop to start at 10 against the Blues at Eden Park in place of the in form Patrick Pellegrini who drops to the bench.

    The Blues are bolstered by the return of Ricky Riccitelli at hooker.

    The Chiefs have moved Josh Jacomb back to 10, with Damian McKenzie at fullback for Friday's game against the Waratahs.
