MELBOURNE (Reuters) - All Blacks hooker Dane Coles will make his long-awaited return for the Wellington Hurricanes on Friday after being named on the bench for their Super Rugby quarter-final against the ACT Brumbies.

Coles has not played for the Super Rugby champions since limping off with a knee injury against the Otago Highlanders in March and has battled concussion symptoms throughout the season, while also struggling with calf and rib problems.
