Hurricanes Unleash Power Squad for Home Clash Against Fijian Drua!
The Hurricanes have announced their squad for their first home match of the season against the Fijian Drua, making just one change to their starting lineup following last week’s loss to the Crusaders.
Lock Hugo Plummer replaces Isaia Walker-Leawere in the second row, while former Highlanders lock Will Tucker earns a spot on the bench and is poised to make his club debut.
The forward pack sees co-captains Brad Shields and Du’Plessis Kirifi leading from the back row, joined by No. 8 Braydon Iose. Up front, Xavier Numia, Jacob Devery, and Tevita Mafileo form the front row.
In the halves, Cam Roigard and Harry Godfrey continue their partnership for a second straight week, guiding an unchanged backline as the Hurricanes look to bounce back from their opening-round defeat.
With the support of their home crowd, the Hurricanes will aim for a strong performance against a Drua side known for their dynamic and fast-paced style of play.
