The Black Ferns have included two Hurricanes Poua in their match day squad to face South Africa in their Women's World Cup quarter-final clash at Sandy Park in Exeter this weekend.
After returning to action from an ankle injury during last week's dominant 40-0 win over Ireland, prolific wing Ayesha Leti-I'iga has been retained in the reserves, where she will suit up alongside Poua halfback Iritana Hohaia.
This weekend's match against the Springbok Women will be the first time Hohaia has featured for the Black Ferns since she was thrust into the starting lineup for their World Cup-opening victory over Spain in York last month.
With 46 tests between them, Leti-I'iga and Hohaia are set to provide plenty of experience from the Black Ferns' bench as the back-to-back reigning world champions look to clinch a place in next week's semi-finals.
Heading into the knockout stages as Pool C winners, the Black Ferns have been drawn against South Africa in what will be just the second-ever meeting between the two sides - 15 years after the Black Ferns claimed a 55-3 win over the Springbok Women at the 2010 World Cup, also held in England.
South Africa claimed wins over Italy and Brazil to finish in the top two of Pool D, achieving an historic milestone of reaching the World Cup knockout stages for the first time in their history.
The winner of this weekend's quarter-final will advance to the semi-finals, where they will face the winner of the quarter-final between Canada and Australia at Ashton Gate in Bristol.
Kick-off for this weekend's World Cup quarter-final between the Black Ferns and Springbok Women is scheduled for 12am Sunday NZT.
