Mention James Haskell and some Highlanders fans might see yellow.
After all, the rugged British and Irish Lions loose forward was never far from the wrong‑side of the law during his one‑year stint with the Dunedin‑based Super Rugby franchise in 2012.
Five years after playing 12 games for the Highlanders, the 32‑year‑old will return to Dunedin and is expected to be named in the British and Irish Lions to play the southern franchise at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Tuesday night.
Haskell sat out last night's 12‑3 win against the Crusaders in Christchurch, but he is eager for what he believes will be the most physical match of the five games against New Zealand Super Rugby teams.
The Highlanders will host the British & Irish Lions at 7.35pm Tuesday.
