Notes: Quotes from Director of Rugby, Gary Gold.

“Bismarck has requested to relinquish the captaincy to concentrate on his return. It’s unbelievably noble of him to have this attitude. Marco Wentzel has done a good job and to ensure continuity, he will retain the captaincy.

“I am thoroughly impressed with Bismarck’s attitude since returning to the side. He’s positive and eager to contribute to the success of the team and turning our fortunes around. He is committed to doing everything he can to make a constructive difference.

“The Highlanders have real game-breakers and it’s going to be a huge challenge for us on Friday. I don’t think it gets much tougher than what we have coming on Friday. But we played some good rugby against the Bulls and the Lions and we want to carry that momentum into this game.”
