Two significant ins for the Hurricanes as they prepare for a crucial home Super Rugby showdown against the Chiefs on Saturday night. 

All Blacks hooker Asafo Aumua and lock Isaia Walker-Leawere have both been named to start on their return from concussion layoffs. 

The match looms as pivotal in the run to the playoffs, and assistant coach Bard Cooper says they're happy the game is in the capital. 

Meanwhile, Chiefs star Damian McKenzie is out for a second straight week with his hand injury. 

With Anton Lienert-Brown out injured for the rest of the Super season, Daniel Rona takes the number 13 jersey. 

D'Arcy catches up with Hurricanes and All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard ahead of tonight's clash.
