      Milner-Skudder named in squad to face Sunwolves

      Nehe Milner-Skudder's long awaited return to rugby will come via the bench on Friday night after he was named in the Hurricanes squad to face the Sunwolves at Westpac Stadium.
      
      The All Blacks wing has been sidelined since injuring his shoulder in October and is part of a strong Hurricanes line-up selected by head coach Chris Boyd for the Investec Super Rugby match.
      
      Halfback Finlay Christie will make his debut for the Hurricanes and will have plenty of experience outside him with Beauden Barrett starting inside an exciting midfield pairing of Vince Aso and Matt Proctor.
      
      Boyd has opted to make some changes in the pack from the squad who beat the Chiefs a fortnight earlier with Ben May coming in for Jeff Toomaga-Allen while Reed Prinsep comes into the loose forward mix with captain Brad Shields moving to No 8 as Gareth Evans, who has started every match, moves to the bench.
      
      Ardie Savea, who was injured against the Highlanders in March, has been bracketed with Sam Henwood who has recovered from a head knock he suffered early against the Chiefs.
      
      Experienced wing Julian Savea also returns to the starting XV after he missed the Chiefs match and will be joined at the back by the competition's leading try scorer Ben Lam and in-form Jordie Barrett.
      
      There is plenty of quality on the bench which will feature the return of Milner-Skudder from a long-term shoulder injury while Jackson Garden-Bachop replaces Ihaia West.
      
      Second five-eighth Ngani Laumape and lock Vaea Fifita have been given the week off.
      
      Kick-off at Westpac Stadium is 7.35pm.

                  I'm guessing that was a missed tackle from Ardie...

                    Appalling mistackle by Ardie Savea lets the Sunwolves in for a miracle try. Hard to believe they could get off nil let alone score a try.

                          I'm sure he was gutted they actually threw it to a player in front of him, he's the ultimate tackle avoider, especially on his own line.

                              It's actually thrown that commonly held theory into huge doubt for me now.

                                It must be a Canterbury thing. They always have guys who look old for their age.

                                          Everytime I start to think Riccitelli has turned a corner...he throws a couple of not straights and gives away a shit penalty.

                                                          Between the Savea's missing tackles or forward passing, Ricky unable to throw straight and ginger nine's box kicks, canes are making the moon dogs look most ok
