CANBERRA, Australia (AP) All Blacks Beauden Barrett and Dane Coles will return for the Hurricanes in their Super Rugby quarterfinal against the Brumbies on Friday.
Flyhalf Barrett’s return after missing the last match of the regular season against the Crusaders with a sinus infection is the only change to the starting 15 announced Wednesday by coach Chris Boyd.
The Hurricanes beat the Crusaders 31-22 to hand the Christchurch side its first loss of the season in the last regular-season round.
Barrett’s replacement against the Crusaders, Otere Black, moves to the reserves, but the rest of the Hurricanes backline remains unchanged.
