    The unbeaten Hurricanes will utilise their squad depth for Friday's Super Rugby match against the Fijian Drua in Suva

    The unbeaten Hurricanes will utilise their squad depth for Friday's Super Rugby match against the Fijian Drua in Suva


    Six changes have been made to the starting forward pack including a debut for former Queensland Reds lock Ben Grant, while several regular starters move to the bench in anticipation of a physical battle.

    Coach Clark Laidlaw says it's important to give fringe players opportunities.



    The Highlanders meanwhile have made wholesale changes after four consecutive defeats.

    James Arscott and Cam Millar will start at halfback and first five against the Reds in Brisbane - while Connor Garden-Bachop is in at fullback for Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens.
