match
between the Hurricanes and the Highlanders from Westpac Stadium.This
should be one of the matches of the round this week - both teams are
back to full strength with Ben and Aaron Smith returning for the
Landers.Pre-match banter: Jordie Barrett returns to Hurricanes for Highlanders clashThe Hurricanes have made a pair of changes to their starting side to take on
the Highlanders in Wellington on Friday.After missing last week's win
over the Brumbies, Jordie Barrett comes back into the run-on team in the
less familiar number 14 jersey.Barrett started the Hurricanes' opening
two games at fullback, before being rested in accordance with All Blacks
policy during the 43-13 win over the Brumbies in Palmerston North on Friday.Jeff To'omaga-Allen slots back in as first-choice starting tighthead prop, rotating in for Ben May, who
shifts to the bench.Coach John Plumtree said he was eager to give the
impressive Chase Tiatia another go in the custodian role, while also
affording Barrett a chance to work on his versatility."There were
obviously some tough calls when it came to selecting the side," Plumtree
said. "But we were really impressed with the way Chase handled his
debut and he has been rewarded for that."Barrett's 1.96m frame also
brings some additional height to the Hurricanes' outside backs, which
Plumtree believes could be key in defusing the Highlanders' favoured
kick and chase tactics.Looking to rebound after a gut-wrenching loss to
the Melbourne Rebels last weekend, the southerners will be galvanised by
the return of All Blacks duo Ben Smith and Aaron Smith."The Highlanders
are going to be a massive challenge for us, like all New Zealand
derbies are, but we are very keen on maintaining our proud record at
Westpac Stadium in front of our home fans."TAB Odds: Hurricanes $1.28
