\"Barbarians<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out the teams ahead of the 16th round of Super Rugby Pacific, where All Blacks stars Cam Roigard and Tyrel Lomax will be back in action for the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

Both have been named in the table-toppers\u2019 starting line-up for their eagerly anticipated New Zealand derby with the Crusaders in Christchurch on Friday.<\/p>\n

This will be a welcome boost for the Hurricanes<\/a> ahead of the play-offs as Roigard<\/a> has missed their last three matches due to a calf injury, while Lomax<\/a> has been sidelined for two months with an ankle issue.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Perpignan-bound All Blacks speedster Sevu Reece will make his 100th appearance for the Crusaders in that encounter.<\/p>\n

In other action, Wallabies duo Ben Donaldson and Joseph Suaalii<\/a> return for Western Force and Waratahs respectively in their Australian derby in Perth on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Suaalii is back after missing the Sydney side\u2019s recent Super Rugby Pacific<\/a> matches against the Fijian Drua and Brumbies due to a hamstring injury, while Donaldson returns after being sidelined with a quad issue in their games against the Reds and Drua.<\/p>\n
