The Hurricanes have shifted Beauden Barrett to fullback and given Otere Black a rare start at first-five for Saturday's Super Rugby home game against the Cheetahs.
Black, who's been linked with a move to the Blues next season, started the season-opener against the Sunwolves but hasn't been given another chance until now.
Jordie Barrett will come off the bench while former Warriors NRL player Sam Lousi will make his starting debut at lock.
Hooker Dane Coles and centre Matt Proctor remain unavailable due to ongoing concussion issues.
