Hurricanes' coach Graham Mourie has made a number of changes for his side's tough assignment against the Cats in Bloemfontein on Friday evening.

All Black second five eight Jason O'Halloran, desperately short of form this so far this season, is replaced in the starting fifteen by Paul Steinmetz.Other changes see the return of lock Paul Tito at the expense of Inoke Afeaki, and fit-again winger Brad Fleming regains his place, with Daryl Lilley dropping back to the bench.

Currently placed in 11th place, the Hurricanes need a morale-boosting win in South Africa, but are likely to find themselves under intense pressure from a Cats side building about impressive momentum under the coaching of former All Black coach Laurie Mains.

The full Hurricanes squad is :
1. Kevin Yates
2. Norm Hewitt
3. Gordon Slater (capt)
4. Dion Waller
5. Paul Tito
6. Jerry Collins
7. Rodney So'oialo
8. Filo Tiatia
9. Jason Spice
10. David Holwell
11. Jonah Lomu
