A system for supporting a plurality of fuel nozzles in a combustor includes a plurality of fuel nozzles coupled to a fuel nozzle support housing proximate an upstream end of each fuel nozzle, a plurality of swirler vanes rigidly coupled to respective fuel nozzles proximate an intermediate portion of the fuel nozzle, a plurality of shrouds rigidly coupled to respective swirler vanes, each shroud having an upstream end adjacent the intermediate portion of the fuel nozzle and a downstream end and a support plate rigidly coupled to the plurality of shrouds proximate an intermediate portion of each of the shrouds. The support plate has a perimeter approximately equal to an inside perimeter of combustor housing which allow the support plate to limit the movement and vibration of the fuel nozzles.
