Naholo to start on the wing for Highlanders in Crusaders clash

Waisake Naholo has been listed to start on the wing for the Highlanders when they face Super Rugby defending champions the  Crusaders on Saturday.

Tevita Li will replace Tevita Nabura on the left wing.

Loose forward Elliot Dixon has recovered from the concussion symptoms which ruled him out of last week's 33‑15 win against the Stormers, while co‑captain and hooker Ash Dixon has taken his place on the bench after missing last week's game with a back complaint.

Other players that are named to start against the Crusaders are Aaron Smith, Ben Smith, Lima Sopoaga and Luke Whitelock.

The Highlanders will face the Crusaders at 6.35pm Saturday. Meanwhile, the Chiefs will play the Bulls at 6.35pm tomorrow.
