Robinson to debut against old province

New signing Robbie Robinson will make his debut at fullback for QBE Harbour on Thursday night against his old team Southland.

The 24 year old’s inclusion is one of five personnel changes to the starting lineup that faced Otago last Saturday.

In the forwards, prop Sione Mafileo replaces the injured Nic Mayhew at tighthead, Michael Farmer is promoted to starting lock in favour of Brandon Nansen, while Zak Judge gets his opportunity at openside flanker.

To the backline, Matt McGahan moves in one from second five to first five, making space for All Blacks Sevens representative Pita Ahki to wear the 12 jersey.

Our 1^st XV final between Westlake Boys High School and Rosmini College will be the curtain raiser to the ITM Cup match.

Kick-off for Harbour v Southland is at 7:35pm at QBE Stadium. General admission is $18 for adults, $5 for children.
