Highlanders captain and veteran All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith

Highlanders captain and veteran All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith and No 8 Marino Mikaele-Tu’u have joined the team in Suva for the clash against the Swire Shiiping Fijian Drua on Saturday.

Both missed Sunday’s loss to the Brumbies in Melbourne.

The Fijian Drua take on the Highlanders at 4.35pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.
