Julian Savea is back at the Super Rugby franchise where he made his name, although whether he takes the field remains in doubt.
Hurricanes coach Jason Holland confirmed Savea was joining the side for the rest of Super Rugby Aotearoa, although he wouldn't be fit for this weekend's clash with the Chiefs, leaving only the final round match with the Highlanders before the season ends.
He will fill the place of Ben Lam, who is moving to France.
Savea scored 50 tries in 116 games for the Hurricanes before heading for an ill-fated stint at Toulon, where he famously fell out with owner Mourad Boudjellal.
