What: Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinals Who: Brumbies v Hurricanes Where, when: GIO Stadium, Canberra; Saturday, 9.35pm (NZT)

Hurricanes’ breakout stars.

Deceptively quick for a forward, Iose has caught the eye with his rampaging runs with the ball in hand. He scored a breakaway try off an intercept in the Hurricanes’ defeat to the Blues in the previous round.

Iose’s performances have provided a glimpse into the future, with captain Ardie Savea leaving for Japan at the end of the season, leaving a vacancy at No 8.

With Kirifi ruled out at the last minute, Savea switched to openide flanker to accommodate Iose last weekend.

Assistant coach Chris Gibbes said Iose had put his hand up for another start against the Brumbies.

‘‘I thought Brayden played a pretty big part in that team performance.

‘‘He needed to step up physically and we all know what Brayden can do with ball in hand but I thought his defence work was top-notch,’’ Gibbes said.

‘‘He’s played well, he’s done what he needs to do and now it’s on us as coaches to pick the right players.’’
