Highlanders’ Head Coach, Jamie Joseph, has named his team to play the Bulls at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin tomorrow.

He has made four changes to the run-on team that played the Hurricanes in Dunedin last Saturday night.

Highlanders captain, Jamie Mackintosh comes back into the engine room, and livewire rake Jason Rutledge will join his skipper in the starting XV in place of Andrew Hore.  Tim Boys will start at openside flanker shifting with Nick Crosswell to lock and Josh Bekhuis has been bracketed with Hoani MacDonald on the bench.

Mike Delany will start at pivot this week and Chris Noakes moves back to the reserves.

Scott Fuglistaller joins the Highlanders as permanent cover for John Hardie and makes the 22 this week.
