Nehe Milner-Skudder ran in three tries as he returned to the Hurricanes' side which thumped the Melbourne Reberls 71-6 at the "Cake Tin" in Wellington at the weekend.
The speedy winger missed most of the 2016 season through injury but his return will be seen as a boost to the All Blacks ahead of the Lions series later this year.
The Rebels' built an early 6-0 lead before the returning All Black, who started at full-back, opened the scoring for his side in the 16th minute when he raced in in the corner.

The Hurricanes' All Black contingent starred with TJ Perenara, Beuden Barrett and Milner-Skudder causing havoc whenever they got hold of the ball and built up a 31-6 at half time lead.
