The Hurricanes Hunters will have a chance to end their season unbeaten when they meet Japan A in Tokyo on Saturday.
The match is the second time the two sides will meet after the Hunters won their first encounter 52-31 in Porirua last month.
Hunters coach Darren Larsen has made nine changes to his starting XV from the last match.
Hurricanes Super Rugby squad member Peter Umaga-Jensen returns to the run on side after he scored a try off the bench at Jerry Collins Stadium.
He is joined by fellow squad members Alex Fidow, Geoff Cridge, Salesi Rayasi and Heiden Bedwell-Curtis who will captain the side.
Rayasi and No 8 Teariki Ben-Nicholas were two of the stand-out players against the Jamie Joseph coached Japan A side in their first meeting with both men scoring a brace of tries.
The Hunters bench features a number of promising players who have been involved in the Hurricanes development programme at age-group level, including former Wairarapa Bush halfback Isaac Bracewell who started in the Hurricanes Heartland Under-20 side.
"This is a massive opportunity for a large number of players who get the chance to play an international side," Larsen said.
"It also allows them to experience preparing and playing overseas alongside fully fledged professionals."

15 Ben Werthmuller
