All Black Ardie Savea will be making his return to rugby for the Hurricanes after missing the last six weeks due to a knee injury when they host the Western Force in Super Rugby Trans-Tasman tomorrow.

Savea will make his return from the bench while loose forward Reed Prinsep will captain the side in place of Dane Coles who has been given the week off.

Isaia Walker-Leawere who has links to Fiji will start at lock with Salesi Rayasi returning to the left-wing and Peter Umaga-Jensen partnering with Ngani Laumape in the centres.

The Hurricanes will face Western Force at 7.05pm tomorrow.

In other matches, the Waratahs will host the Crusaders at 5.05pm Saturday, the Blues will face the Brumbies at 7.15pm Saturday, the Chiefs will play the Reds at 9.45pm Saturday and the Highlanders will take on the Rebels at 2.35pm Sunday.
