To celebrate the opening weekend of junior rugby, all registered junior players in the Wellington region have been given a free ticket to get along and support the Hurricanes as they welcome the NSW Waratahs to Sky Stadium, for week 11.
Changes to the forward pack see Pouri Rakete-Stones, Devan Flanders and Peter Lakai come into the starting line-up while Justin Sangster is on the bench. Hawkes Bay's Kianu Kereru-Symes makes his first start for the team, named at Hooker.
