Anton Lienert-Brown moves from outside centre to inside allowing Tumua Manu to take his vacant place from the bench.

Manu's place on the bench has been taken by Alex Nankivell, who will need a clearance from the medical team failing which Ataata Moeakiola will find a place in the matchday 23.

As a team we need to draw on the confidence we have gained from our past couple of games. We are not strangers to quarter-finals rugby, we just need to stay focused and deliver a performance our fans and whanau are proud of,” said Cooper.
