Isaia Walker-Leawere and Kiniviliame Naholo have returned to the Hurricanes to face the Brumbies in Round 10 of the Super Rugby Pacific on Friday.
In the forward pack, Walker-Leawere makes a comeback from injury to partner James Blackwell at lock.
Naholo, who missed the match against the Chiefs last week has reverted to the side and will provide the much-needed impact from the reserve bench.
Another Fijian, Salesi Rayasi has retained his spot in the team after his instrumental performance in the previous Rounds.
Julian Savea looks to make his 150th appearance* for the Hurricanes on the wing.
The Hurricanes will take on the Brumbies at 5:30 pm at Sky Stadium.
