The Highlanders have named the same starting side for the opening game of their South African Super Rugby tour against the Lions in Johannesburg.
Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph has kept the faith with the XV who so convincingly defeated the Sharks last Friday at home, with the only changes coming in the reserves for Sunday's clash at Ellis Park.
South African prop Ross Geldenhuys has recovered from a broken thumb to takes his place on the bench, replacing Pingi Tala'apitaga, while flanker John Hardie also returns from injury for his fourth match of the competition.
Joe Latta drops out of the playing 23 with Elliot Dixon expected to cover lock.
