It will be a battle of two young explosive Fijian wingers in New Zealand Rugby when the Hurricanes take on the Highlanders tonight as Kiniviliame Naholo will line up against Timoci Tavatavanawai.

Naholo has been named to start on the left wing for the Hurricanes while Tavatavanawai will start for the Highlanders on the right wing.

The two young wingers have been impressive for their respective clubs so far earning their spots in the starting lineup for the past 5 rounds.

Meanwhile, the Highlanders have named two more players with links to Fiji in their starting lineup with former All Blacks 7s winger Jona Nareki starting on the left wing and Jacob Kneepkens-Ratumaitavuki starting at fullback.

The Hurricanes will play the Highlanders at 6.05pm tonight.

In other matches played, the Crusaders claimed their first win of the season after defeating the Chiefs 37-26, the Rebels beat the Waratahs 27-21 and the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua defeated the Western Force 31-13.
