KEY POINTS:
Winger Ma'a Nonu and prop John Schwalger return to the Hurricanes' starting line-up for a crunch Super 14 round seven rugby match against the Crusaders in Wellington on Friday.
Nonu missed the 33-15 win over the Brumbies two weeks ago as he sat out a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle while a back injury kept Schwalger out of the trip to Canberra.
Nonu's return sees Shannon Paku switched to the right wing with Hosea Gear dropping into the reserves while Jacob Ellison drops out of the 22-man squad for Schwalger, with Tim Fairbrother getting the nod for the reserves.
The Hurricanes are fifth (four wins and one defeat) in the standings after sitting out a bye last weekend while the table topping Crusaders have chalked up six wins in a row.
Hurricanes
Cory Jane, Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Tamati Ellison, Shannon Paku, Jimmy Gopperth, Piri Weepu, Rodney So'oialo (captain), Chris Masoe, Jerry Collins, Jason Eaton, Craig Clarke, Neemia Tialata Andrew Hore, John Schwalger.
Reserves: Hikawera Elliot, Tim Fairbrother, Jeremy Thrush, Scott Waldrom, Alby Mathewson, Tane Tu'ipulotu, Hosea Gear.
