The Hurricanes have named a near-unchanged line-up to face the Blues in Friday's Super Rugby match at Eden Park.
The only change is in the front-row with prop Ben May bracketed to start with Michael Bent, with rookie Jeff Toomaga-Allen given the nod at tighthead after impressing in his first few games.
A decision on who will start at loosehead prop will be made later in the week.
Centre Conrad Smith will again captain the side.
