The Hurricanes have named 19-year-old Ardie Savea to make his long awaited Super Rugby debut this weekend when they face the Waratahs.

The Wellington born loose forward impressed many in his first ITM Cup season and now gets a chance to pull on the Canes jersey, following three matches for the Development side.

Meanwhile, Corey Flyn has been ruled out for the Crusaders clash against the Sharks after suffering an eye injury today.

The Sharks will host the Crusaders at 5:10am Saturday.

Tomorrow the Highlanders play the Blues at 6:35pm and the Brumbies meet the Kings at 8.40pm.
