Fresh off an impressive opening-round victory over defending champions Wellington, Canterbury returns to home soil this weekend to face long-time rivals Auckland.
Lock Sam Darry moves into the starting XV after making an impact off the bench last week, while New Zealand U20s captain Manumaua Letiu is set to make his red-and-black debut alongside new signing, prop Darcy Breen, both named on the bench.
