Hurricanes coach Colin Cooper has made one change to the Hurricanes team to face the Brumbies. Holwell and Gopperth have swopped places again with Holwell getting the nod for this week.
Gopperth held the position last week but the Coach feels that Holwell has the right credentials to face the Brumbies in Canberra.
The Hurricanes are very close to sealing a semi final place and a win over the Brumbies at home would be a big step towards getting that place.
Hurricanes:
15 Isaia Toeava, 14 Lome Fa’atau, 13 Ma’a Nonu, 12 Tana Umaga, 11 Shannon Paku, 10 David Holwell, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Rodney So’oialo (c), 7 Chris Masoe, 6 Jerry Collins, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Paul Tito, 3 Neemia Tialata, 2 Andrew Hore, 1 John Schwalger.
Reserves: 16 Luke Mahoney, 17 Joe McDonnell, 18 Luke Andrews, 19 Thomas Waldrom, 20 Brendan Haami, 21 Jimmy Gopperth, 22 Tamati Ellison.
