Waikato coach Chris Gibbs has bracketed All Blacks winger Sitiveni Sivivatu in his starting line up to face Auckland in tomorrow's New Zealand provincial rugby semi final.

Sivivatu moves up from last week's stint on the bench, however a knee complaint has seen the 43 Test veteran bracketed alongside Henry Speight just as a precautionary measure.

It will be Sivivatu's second match since coming back from shoulder surgery, after his appearance in Waikato's 26-6 win over Canterbury last weekend in Hamilton.

Meanwhile in the first semi final today, Canterbury will take on Wellington at 7.35pm.
