The Hurricanes will be without a trio of All Blacks for Saturday's Super Rugby match against the Brumbies in Canberra
28 June 2018
Loose forward Vaea Fifita will miss the match with concussion, while flanker Ardie Savea was already ruled out with an ankle sprain.
First five Beauden Barrett will also sit out the game, but coach Chris Boyd says that isn't because of the head knock which ruled him out of the third French test.
He says this game was always going to be one of Barrett's All Blacks enforced rest weeks.
Jackson Garden-Bachop will start at 10 in Barrett's absence.
All Blacks Jordie Barrett and Ngani Laumape have both been named to start in the midfield.
TJ Perenara will captain the side, with Brad Shields still recovering from England duty and being sick.
