The winless Highlanders have turned to Japan to solve their back-row problems by signing former Crusaders number eight Mose Tuiali’i.

Tuiali’i is to be a direct replacement for Nasi Manu, who is set to miss the rest of the tournament after sustaining a serious foot injury in the side's opening round defeat to the Chiefs.

The Highlanders will meet the Blues at 6:35pm this Friday and at 8:40pm the Brumbies host the Kings.
