Wholesale changes for the Highlanders as they look to end a four game losing slide in Super Rugby

Wholesale changes for the Highlanders as they look to end a four game losing slide in Super Rugby

17 April 2024

Folau Fakatava and Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens are the big name casualties - relegated to the bench for Friday's clash against the Reds in Brisbane.

James Arscott and Connor Garden-Bachop take their places at halfback and fullback respectively.

Coach Clark Dermody says the change at 15 is two-fold.

Joe Moody, Owen Franks and Christian Lio-Willie will make their first starts of the season for the Crusaders in their clash with the Force.

Tyrel Lomax and Brett Cameron have been given a breather ahead of the Hurricanes visit to Suva to take on the Drua.
