Highlanders Team To Play The WaratahsThe return of Jackson Hemopo and Dillon Hunt to the pack, Patelesio Tomkinsons’ selection in the midfield and Aaron Smith back at halfback are the main features of the Pulse Energy Highlanders team to take on the Waratahs on Saturday. Hemopo replaces veteran lock Alex Ainley and the hard-working Dillon Hunt returns for James Lentjes. In the backs, Aaron Smith takes the place of the well performed Kayne Hammington, and Tevita Li is back from injury and will take a spot on the bench. Patelesio Tomkinson gets his first starting opportunity in the midfield with Teihorangi Walden sitting the game out after experiencing concussion symptoms during the week. A former NZ U20 player, Tomkinson, is a hard-hitting young midfielder from Otago who has had limited opportunities since joining the club last season.

Those shirts will blind the tahs, maybe?
Nice to see a team not in a shade of blue for a change.
