Hurricanes name 25-man squad for South Africa

The Hurricanes have named a 25 man squad that will travel to South Africa for their two week tour for matches against the Bulls and Cheetahs.

The Hurricanes will play the two matches in the Republic and then return home to host the Chiefs in Wellington.

Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett has named 25 players for the squad that will depart on Saturday with one more to be confirmed, as Motu Matu’u has been side-lined for 6-8 weeks with injury.

Matu’u suffered a fractured right forearm in the match against the Stormers on Friday.
