    Regular captain, centre Conrad Smith, will sit out the match.

    Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd has continued to rotate players, moving Blade Thomson to second row with James Broadhurst.

    Flanker Ardie Savea is back in the starting line-up and No.8 Victor Vito will get his first start of the season with scrum-half Chris Smiley and full-back James Marshall.

    Manawatu fullback Nehe Milner-Skudder returns from a knee injury, and will come off the bench.

    Hurricanes: Reggie Goodes, Dane Coles (capt), Ben Franks, Blade Thomson, James Broadhurst, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Victor Vito, Chris Smiley, Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea, Ma’a Nonu, Rey Lee-Lo, Cory Jane, James Marshall. Reserves: Brayden Mitchell, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Chris Eves, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, TJ Perenara, Matt Proctor, Nehe Milner-Skudder

    Quote Greg Growden - "...........the Force have forgotten they have a backline......" Ouch but unfortunately for once I agree with him.

    Don't listen to him. It only encourages him. Only tweet him when Force wins and say "chatter chatter chipmunk"

    Thank God for that,

    We could see last week why Frank was fielded ahead of Chris. Hopefully Pekka can run the full 80.

    Hard to trash talk the Pieman when he's right.

    Bummer - HB won't be playing this week - they really need someone to fire them up tomorrow. Really hope the backs get back to running the ball and not standing flat. Good to hear also that Foles has had a go about the scrum reffing decisions against the Force with backup footage so the Force don't cop ref prejudice! Maybe Sammy maybe needs to get more proactive with refs so we don't get to that stage again.
