The Highlanders have named Waisake Naholo in their team to play the Chiefs tomorrow.
Naholo made his return to playing last week in club rugby after being out with a broken leg since the round one match against the Blues.
Utility back, Matt Faddes, will get his first start at centre after previously playing on the wing and at fullback.
Malakai Fekitoa moves to second‑five.
In the forwards, co‑captain Shane Christie will be side‑lined for a few weeks with a hamstring injury. He is replaced by Dan Pryor.
The Highlanders will face the Chiefs at 7.35pm tomorrow.
Tonight, the Crusaders meet the Reds at 7.35pm while the Brumbies clash with the Bulls at 9.40pm.
