Hurricanes co-captain Dane Coles has returned from injury to start at hooker, as one of three changes for Saturday's crucial Super Rugby clash with the Blues in Wellington.
He returns to the side alongside Jackson Garden-Bachop, who will play at first-five, and midfielder Peter Umaga-Jensen.
The changes see Asafo Aumua return to the bench while Fletcher Smith along and Vince Aso drop out of the matchday 23 altogether.
Coach Jason Holland said after their second-straight win in Super Rugby Aotearoa that he's starting to see some momentum building in the side which lost to the Blues 30-20 in the competition's opening round.
The Hurricanes face the Blues at 7.05pm Saturday while the Highlanders face the Chiefs at 3.35pm Sunday.
