Hurricanes hooker Dane Coles has recovered from a recent hamstring injury to lead out his side against the Brumbies in Canberra on Friday.
The 29‑year‑old All Black starts the game in a strong looking starting XV that includes star half‑backs TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett.
Coles will line up alongside Reggie Goodes and Jeff Toomaga‑Allen in the front‑row, with Blade Thomson and Mark Abbott as the locks.
The back‑row trio is equally as impressive as Brad Shields, Ardie Savea and Victor Vito pack down for last year's Super Rugby finalists.
Hurricanes will take on Brumbies at 8.40pm on Friday.
