The loose forward Micheal Luck and prop Sam Rapira have both been named to return from injury lay-offs for the Warriors National Rugby League match against the bottom placed Gold Coast Titans at Mount Smart Stadium on Friday night.
It was anticipated Luck would be out for eight weeks after partially dislocating his left knee during the Warriors loss to Wests Tigers last month but has has recovered quicker than expected.
Rapira hasn't played for the past two months after surgery to repair a dislocated thumb he suffered in Kiwis test against Australia in May.
He's one of five players named on the interchange bench along with his younger brother Steve, who he's yet to play alongside in the NRL.
The Warriors are currently ninth in the competition having lost their last four games but did beat the Gold Coast the last time the two sides met in May.
