The Highlanders are desperate to win and the fans will hope for a miracle when they will face the Chiefs for the second time tonight.

The Highlanders are yet to win from three home games and support for the side has decreased in size after the excitement created by off-season signings that included Ma’a Nonu and Brad Thorn.
 
Meanwhile, Chiefs coach Dave Rennie has made some changes to freshen up his forward pack since arriving back from the republic, including the rumbling Ben Tameifuna replacing Ben Afeaki at tight-head prop.

The Chiefs face the Highlanders at 6.35pm today.

Meanwhile, tomorrow the Crusaders host the Southern Kings at 6.35pm while the Reds face the Bulls at 8.40pm.
