    A few gut-busters for the six busted Highlanders

    A few gut-busters for the six busted Highlanders


    Two of the players suspended from last week's win over the Crusaders have forced their way back into the side for Saturday's Super Rugby match against the Chiefs in Dunedin.

    Patelesio Tomkinson comes into the side at second five and Josh Ioane will come off the bench as playmaker cover.

    The other four remain on the outer, after the breach of team protocols.

    Coach Tony Brown says the suspended group have been drilled on the training park.
