The Hurricanes have named their final team for Super Rugby Aotearoa with TJ Perenara omitted from the line-up for Saturday’s game against the Highlanders.
Perenara has been scratched from the team to remain at home with his wife, with the couple expecting their first child.
As a result, Jamie Booth has been handed his first start in the No.9 jersey as one of two changes to the backline, with Billy Proctor also earning his first start in the competition in the midfield
Jordie Barrett, Vince Aso, Ardie Savea, Dane Coles, Peter Umaga-Jensen and Billy Proctor will start for the Hurricanes.
