Australian rugby referee Paul Marks has paid the price for his controversial decision not to award the Sharks a penalty try in the final minutes of their Super 14 loss to NSW last Saturday night.
Hurricanes coach Colin Cooper believes No 7 is the toughest position under the new rules and he has continued to shuffle his flankers ahead of the crucial clash with the Stormers in Cape Town on Sunday (NZ time).
Argentina would have to be able to field their best team to be included in a Four Nations tournament with Australia, New Zealand and South Africa from 2012.
Hurricanes coach Colin Cooper has responded to the side's first loss with five changes to his starting side in naming a full-strength side to play the Stormers on Sunday.
Hamilton's main drag can be a tricky zone for visiting rugby fans, although that is not where the Crusaders expect to cop grief tomorrow night.
Former All Black Sione Lauaki has been charged with assault following an incident in a Hamilton bar last Friday.
The Chiefs have tinkered with their tight five for their clash with the Crusaders on Friday night, bringing back lock Craig Clarke and hooker Aled de Malmanche.
