Hooker nervous ahead of starting team return vs Bulls

8:33 am on 19 March 2009

The Hurricanes hooker Andrew Hore admits to a few butterflies ahead of his first Super Rugby start of the year, against the Bulls in Wellington tomorrow night.

The 2008 New Zealand rugby player of the year got some time off the bench against the Cheetahs in New Plymouth a fortnight ago, but will tomorrow night mark his first start since injuring his ankle in the Bledisloe Cup win over the Wallabies in Hong Kong last November.

Hore says he's looking forward to getting stuck into the action again, even if he is a bit tentative.....

With a terrible lineout in recent weeks the Hurricanes will behoping Hore can give them some stability at the set piece.
