Hurricanes make one change

Prop Joe McDonnell returns in the only Hurricanes change for their Super 14 match against the Chiefs at Westpac Stadium on Saturday.

McDonnell replaces John Schwalger on the loosehead side, with Schwalger dropping to the reserve bench, in the only alteration from the side who lost to the Brumbies in Canberra last Saturday.

Flanker Jerry Collins has been named despite missing training yesterday with a sore back and "feeling a bit flat", according to coach Colin Cooper.

First five-eighth David Holwell again earns selections ahead of Jimmy Gopperth while there is no room in the starting 15 for midfield back Tamati Ellison despite his impressive recent form.

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, Joe McDonnell.
Reserves: Tamati Ellison, Jimmy Gopperth, Brendan Haami, Thomas Waldrom, Luke Andrews, John Schwalger, Luke Mahoney
