Taunoa-Brown has been named on the interchange after serving a one-game suspension with Herbert returning from a hamstring injury-enforced five-game absence.
After scoring two first half tries in the centres, the versatile Hiku - the team's top try scorer with eight - was moved to fullback after Tuivasa-Sheck injured his hamstring in last weekend's loss to Canberra.
In bringing Herbert back into the line-up, interim coach Todd Payten has shifted Hayze Perham back into the centres, while there is one change to the starting forward pack with rookie Eliesa Katoa named to start and Jack Murchie going to the interchange.
Fans won't return to grounds in Britain
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed plans for fans to return to watch live sport events in England from October 1st will not go ahead.
The plans were placed under review after a rise in coronavirus cases.
The UK's Covid-19 alert level has moved to 4, meaning transmission is "high or rising exponentially".
In an address to the Commons today, he announced new restrictions for the country and those included the halting of the phased return of fans.
The prime minister also said current restrictions are likely to remain in place for the next six months.
The pilot programme, which was to trial events of up to 1,000 spectators, has also been paused.
The majority of sports in England have been played behind closed doors since the coronavirus lockdown in March, including Premier League football, the FA Cup final, England's Test cricket matches and two Formula 1 races at Silverstone.

Wallace is Nascar's sole black full-time driver while Jordan is the second black team owner at its elite level.
Earlier this year, Wallace successfully campaigned to get the Confederate flag banned from Nascar races.
Six-time NBA champion Jordan said the team would "educate a new audience".
The 57-year-old added it would also "open more opportunities for black people in racing".
On joining Jordan and Hamlin's team, Wallace said: "This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I believe is a great fit for me at this point in my career."
Hamlin, 39, will be a minority partner in the team while he continues to drive for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Djokovic gets paid more than halep in Rome
Organisers of last week's Italian Open and the tennis Tours have come under fire on social media after it emerged that Rome men's champion Novak Djokovic was paid 10 euros ($20) more than women's winner Simona Halep.
Djokovic, who beat Argentine Diego Schwartzman for a record 36th ATP Masters 1000 crown, received 205,200 euros for his triumph while Halep won 10 euros less for sealing the WTA Premier 5 title after Karolina Pliskova retired from the final with injury while trailing 6-0 2-1.
But even as tennis' biggest events - the Grand Slams - have pushed for parity in prize money for winners, some fans online vented their ire that while Halep's prize came close to that of Djokovic, it frustratingly fell short.
The issue generated plenty of discussion on social media, with some individuals pointing out the "pathetic" difference.
