Tony Brown has named his side to take on Manawatu this Friday in Dunedin.

There has been one change to the starting XV that took on Canterbury last Saturday with Buxton Popoali’i returning from a hamstring injury to take his place on the right wing while Matt Faddes drops out of the 22.

Brown has gone for a 4/3 split in the reserves with Aki Seiuli replacing Tama Tuirirangi and Teihorangi Walden coming in for Willis Scott.
