Hurricanes captain Brad Shields will become the 14th player to play his 100th match for the Hurricanes this weekend when they face the Highlanders.
The match will be the 99th Super Rugby appearance for Shields who also started for the Hurricanes against the British and Irish Lions in 2017.
Shields will join Tana Umaga, Rodney So’oialo, Andrew Hore, Cory Jane, Victor Vito, Jeremy Thrush, Ma’a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Neemia Tialata, Julian Savea, Dane Coles, Beauden Barrett and TJ Perenara to reach the milestone in the club’s 23‑year history.
Coach Chris Boyd has made just one change to the starting XV which lost to the defending champion Crusaders in Christchurch last week with No.8 Gareth Evans replacing Blade Thomson.
The Hurricanes meet the Highlanders at 7.35pm tomorrow.
