The Hurricanes will be without four of their All Blacks for this Friday's Super Rugby clash with the Melbourne Rebels in Wellington.
Hooker Dane Coles is still recovering from an elbow injury, while prop Ben Franks, first-five Beauden Barrett and winger Julian Savea are all sitting out the game as a part of the two-game stand-down All Blacks are required to have.
