Only one change for Hurricanes

The Hurricanes will take a relatively settled side into their next Super 14 match against the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday morning. Coach Colin Cooper has made just one change to his starting 15, dropping specialist loosehead prop Joe McDonnell from his 22 for the game.

McDonnell started in the 23-19 win over the Stormers in Cape Town last weekend but the particularly physical nature of the Bulls forwards has resulted in John Schwalger replacing him in the run-on side and Tim Fairbrother being preferred on the reserves bench.
