Fijian born All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo is back for the Highlanders this week as they will take on the Stormers on Sunday.
A week after Naholo was named to face the Lions and then withdrawn, Naholo has been handed a start against the Stormers in.
Naholo goes straight back into the No 14 jersey for the crucial game, with the Highlanders desperate for a win to keep themselves in a playoffs spot before they have a bye week.
Coach Aaron Mauger says Naholo has come through the week well and fronted really well.
Naholo has not played since the round six loss to the Blues and is running out of time to impress the All Blacks selectors, but a big game in Cape Town would put him right back in the picture.
The Stormers will take on the Highlanders at 1.05am this Sunday.
In other matches tonight, the Brumbies take on the Bulls at 9.45 while the Chiefs take on the Reds at 7.35pm.
Tomorrow, the Sunwolves meet the Rebels at 5.15pm, the Crusaders take on the Blues at 7.35pm while the Waratahs meet the Jaguares at 9.45pm.
On Sunday, and the Sharks meet the Lions at 3.15am.
