Boyd names team for semi-final bonanza

Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd has named his team to face the Brumbies in the first Investec Super Rugby semi-final for 2015.

With the only injury to hinder the side being that of Cory Jane (hamstring), Boyd has named Nehe Milner-Skudder on the right wing and given James Marshall the fullback duties.
