The Hurricanes will be hoping to cement their top-four position on the Super 14 points table when they travel to Canberra for a tough assignment against the resurgent Brumbies this Saturday evening.
Hurricanes coach Colin Cooper has made just one change to the side that beat the Highlanders 29-13 on Sunday, with David Holwell coming in for Jimmy Gopperth at first five-eighth.
The Brumbies will be without their long-serving first five-eighth Stephen Larkham, who tore his hamstring during their loss to the Waratahs in round ten.
Hurricanes team:
Isaia Toeava, Lome Fa'atau, Ma'a Nonu, Tana Umaga, Shannon Paku, David Holwell, Piri Weepu, Rodney So'oialo (captain), Chris Masoe, Jerry Collins, Jason Eaton, Paul Tito, Neemia Tialata, Andrew Hore, John Schwalger.
Reserves:
Tamati Ellison, Jimmy Gopperth, Brendan Haami, Thomas Waldrom, Luke Andrews, Joe McDonnell, Luke Mahoney.
