Highlanders get 2 All Blacks back for Blues match

The Highlanders will get just two of their three All Blacks back for their final round robin match of the Super Rugby competition.

All Blacks Aaron Smith and Ben Smith return to the starting lineup for tomorrow night’s match against the Blues in Auckland after being rested along with Malakai Fekitoa for last week’s loss to the Hurricanes.

Coach Jamie Joseph has made 10 positional changes for the match.

The front row is completely changed with prop Daniel Leinert-Brown getting his first run on start for the season.

In the back row Elliot Dixon moves to blindside, Dan Pryor returns at No.8 and Gareth Evans moves to the bench.

Also back is winger Patrick Osborne.

Highlanders will face the Blues at 7:35pm tomorrow.
