The Highlanders have named their team to face the Reds with Jamie Mackintosh making a return after recovering from from his turf toe injury.

Kenny Lynn also returns to the backline which moves Ben Smith back on to the wing after he played centre last weekend.

Mackintosh and Lynn's return to fitness means that Joe Tuineau and Keith Cameron drop out of the team.

Tom Donnelly was unavailable for this week's match with his ankle injury as was Clint Newland with a back injury.

Sean Romans will also miss the season finale with his hamstring injury.

Michael Hobbs is also out this week due to his hand injury as is Jason Macdonald with his Achilles injury.
