QBE Harbour name side to face Wellington

Steve Jackson has made a few tweaks to his line-up for tomorrows late afternoon clash against Wellington, with Takapuna loosie Josh Tyrell promoted into his starting line-up for what will be his first cap. This means Chris Vui moves into the locking position with Connor Collett being promoted off the bench and into the No.7 jersey. In the other change to the starting line-up Matt McGahan comes into the first-five position. On the bench, Jackson has bought in North Shore centre Daniel Hilton-Jones as back cover with the reserves (which will also be his debut) with the match marking the return of Hapakuki Moala-Liavaa and the introduction of Hani Fatai.

Wellington started their campaign with a win over Hawkes Bay but then faced a rampant Otago - a match that would have given the Harbour coaches some insight into how to take on the Wellington side. They have made two changes to their line-up.
