        Liam Squire likely to feature - probably off the bench.

          *100th Super Rugby game (101st game for the Highlanders)

          Pulse Energy Highlanders to play the Jaguares for the first time at home

          An early kick-off (5.15pm) under the roof on Saturday will see the Highlanders host the Jaguares for the first time at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
          
          There is some rotation in the forwards with Ayden Johnstone and Siate Tokolahi starting,   while the hard-working Daniel Lienert-Brown and Tyrel Lomax head to the bench. Josh Dickson moves into the starting line-up and Liam Squire makes his return after a lengthy injury break.
          
          In the backs, Matt Faddes, moves to fullback and Jordan Hyland will make his second appearance on the right wing. Patelesio Tomkinson will partner Rob Thompson in the midfield as Teihorangi Walden takes a break. Dan Hollinshead, who has joined the squad as a replacement for Bryn Gatland, will make his debut from the bench and the talented and young, Thomas Umaga-Jensen, rounds out the playing 23.
          
          It is a significant milestone for hard running number eight Elliot Dixon. Dixon will play his 100th Investec Super Rugby game for the Highlanders. After making his debut in 2012 against the Brumbies, Dixon has featured in all positions in the back row – most memorably, scoring an amazing try against the Hurricanes to help the Highlanders to their 2015 title.

            There’s a whiff of Lee Germon about Lucky Luke like this year - his much vaunted defence hasn’t been up to his usual standard yet he’s an automatic pick as captain.

              @Nepia yeah he's been pretty poke this year, needs a significant improvement to even be in consideration for black.

                  @Stargazer pretty brave going in without a halfback.

                    Dillon Hunt and Pari Pari Parkinson are missing from the Highlanders' lineup for a while now. Are they injured or just punished for bad performances ?

                          @cgrant when players lose game time for no apparrant reason sometimes it’s because they have indicated to their franchise they are moving seen it before.Just throwing it out there is that the reason ? because it surprises me both have not had more game time .
                          I am sure there are some franchises who would be looking for a lock with some height in particular.

                            @Chris yeah Hunt should move to the Chiefs or even the Saders, he's a frikken AB and is simply a better player than Lentjes. It's bizarre he can't even get on the bench.

                            Parkinson is a tougher one - he's very young and the locks that have been playing, have been playing bloody well. He got more game time than I thought he would earlier in the season (but played well).

                              Hemopo and Franklin have been great, that's true. But what about Dickson who's got a lot more game time than Parkinson ?

                                  Good enough for SR? I can't recall him standing out for BOP?

                                      I just realised he's been in Japan so his NPC performances were from a couple of years ago

                                          Pretty aimless kicking from the Landers so far.

                                              That was classy from Ioane. Good long pass earlier too

                                              He’s so far ahead of Black with ball in hand

                                                @Duluth nice solid hit there on the winger too.

                                                That was dumb from Lentjes.

                                                    fuck lucky the Jaguares let Dixon stand for so long doing nothing with his hands on the ball then rejoined the ruck...

                                                      That was some awful assistant ref work.

                                                      Camera angle shows ball go out about 10 metres out.

                                                      Assistant ref just gives it 5 metres out.

                                                      Cripes.

                                                        Probably the best game I've seen from Tomkinson with ball in hand. Even at NPC level, I've not seen him really attack like this.

                                                            Some really ugly holes being left 2-3 wide of the breakdown by the highlanders. So frustrating, it's just lazy defence, people not scanning.

                                                              Ioane has a similar style to Mounga...

                                                                              ..and again

                                                                              I expect they'll fade away again

                                                                              They didn't. With a bit more luck, they could have drawn or even won.
