Nareki returns from injury against the Hurricanes

Fiji-born Jona Nareki will make his return to the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition when the Highlanders take on the Hurricanes tomorrow.

Nareki picked up the injury during the pre-season clash against the Crusaders but makes a welcome return to the Highlanders' back three with Finn Hurley still missing due to a quad injury.

Jack Taylor gets his first start of the season in the No. 2 jersey, with Fiji born hooker Soane Vikena demoted to the bench after an ill-disciplined display against Moana Pasifika in round 3.

Ajay Faleafaga is also poised for his first appearance of the year as Cameron Millar recovers from the nasty concussion he suffered during the round-three win at North Harbour Stadium.

The Highlanders will face the Hurricanes at 6.05pm tomorrow.

In other matches, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will face the Brumbies at 8.35pm tomorrow at GIO Stadium, Canberra, the Crusaders will take on the Western Force at 3.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs will battle the Blues at 6.05pm on Saturday, and the Reds will play the Waratahs at 8.35pm on Saturday.
