The Hurricanes have named Samoan first five-eighth Tusi Pisi to get his first start of the season against the Blues at Eden Park on Saturday.

Ben Franks has been bracketed at loosehead prop after missing last week’s game due to a lower back strain.

Beuden Barrett has now been shifted to fullback while Assistant Coach, Alama Ieremia said Tusi Pisi offers another style of attack with his versatility as a first five-eighth, second five eighth and fullback.
 
The Hurricanes will play the Blues at 7:35pm Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Highlanders will host the Brumbies at 7:35pm tomorrow.
