Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph has made four changes to his run-on team for Friday’s Super Rugby match against the Reds in Brisbane.

All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore will start while English international James Haskell replaces Tim Boys at openside flanker.

In the backs, Mike Delany starts at five-eighth in place of Chris Noakes, while Tamati Ellison’s hamstring injury in last week’s 21-27 loss to the Chiefs means Siale Piutau will start at centre.

Highlanders: Ben Smith, Kade Poki, Siale Piutau, Phil Burleigh, Hosea Gear, Mike Delany, Aaron Smith, Nasi Manu, James Haskell, Adam Thomson, Nick Crosswell, Jarrad Hoeata, Maafu Fia, Andrew Hore, Jamie Mackintosh (capt). Reserves: Jason Rutledge, Chris King, Josh Bekhuis, Tim Boys, Jimmy Cowan, Chris Noakes, Kenny Lynn.
