The Hurricanes have named their team to meet the Reds in round 14 of the 2009 Super 14 and coach Colin Cooper has opted for consistency.

The starting line up is the same as the one that lost to the Chiefs last week.

Faifili Levave drops out of the 22 and is replaced on the bench by Karl Lowe.

The Hurricanes are in third place on the Super 14 table and are expected to pick up a bonus point victory that will seal their place in the Super 14 play offs.
