Join us from 5.15pm on Saturday for live updates from the Highlanders' match against the Jaguares at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Highlanders loose forward Elliot Dixon will notch 100 Super Rugby games for the franchise tonight. The hard-running No 8 made his debut in 2012 against the Brumbies and has featured in all three back row positions. Perhaps his most memorable moment came when he scored a try against the Hurricanes to help the Highlanders to their 2015 Super Rugby title. There is some rotation in the front row with Ayden Johnstone and Siate Tokolahi starting, while the hard-working Daniel Lienert-Brown and Tyrel Lomax head to the bench. Lock Josh Dickson moves into the starting line-up and All Black Liam Squire will make his return from the bench after a lengthy injury break. The injury to Ben Smith means there has been some juggling in the backs. Matt Faddes moves to fullback and Jordan Hyland will make his second appearance on the right wing. Sio Tomkinson will partner Rob Thompson in the midfield as Tei Walden takes a break. Dan Hollinshead, who joined the squad as a replacement for Bryn Gatland, will make his debut from the bench. Argentina's Jaguares will be keen to get their four-week tour off to a positive start, while the Highlanders will want to head to South Africa next week on a winning note after last week's draw against the Chiefs. Coach Aaron Mauger has been impressed with Dixon's form this season. "To play 100 Super Rugby games for one club is an awesome effort,'' he said. "The fact that he is still demanding selection through his current form speaks volumes for Elliot and his attitude to the game. "I'm sure the boys will want to put out an effort worthy of this milestone for him.'' NZ Rugby and the Highlanders will recognise the achievement post-match with a presentation. The game kicks off at 5.15pm. Highlanders: Matt Faddes, Jordan Hyland, Rob Thompson, Patelesio Tomkinson, Tevita Li, Aaron Smith, Elliot Dixon, James = Lentjes, Luke Whitelock, Tom Franklin, Josh Dickson, Siate Tokolahi, Liam Coltman, Ayden Johnstone.

Pre-game chat: Liam Squire returns for Highlanders for Jaguares clash The Highlanders have received positive news before their Super Rugby clash against the Jaguares, with flanker Liam Squire to make his first appearance of the season. Squire, who has been named on the bench, has struggled with hip and knee problems, and hasn't played since facing Ireland for the All Blacks in November. His return is timely, with the Highlanders missing All Blacks trio Winger Waisake Naholo (knee), fullback Ben Smith (hamstring) and utility forward Jackson Hemopo (knee), who are also injured. Naholo, who will join London Irish after the Rugby World Cup, hasn't played since their round-six defeat against the Blues, but is expected to return next week. In other changes, coach Aaron Mauger has continued his propping rotations, with Ayden Johnstone and Siate Tokolahi starting, and hard-working Daniel Lienert-Brown and Tyrel Lomax on the bench. Josh Dickson moves into the starting line-up at lock, replacing Hemopo. In the backs, Matt Faddes moves to fullback and Jordan Hyland will make his second appearance on the right wing. Patelesio Tomkinson has been promoted from the bench and will partner Rob Thompson in the midfield, as Teihorangi Walden is rested. Thomas Umaga-Jensen is promoted to the bench as midfield cover. First-five Dan Hollinshead, who has joined the squad as a replacement for Bryn Gatland, will make his debut from the bench. Meanwhile, the match will mark a special occasion for number eight Elliot Dixon, who will play his 100th Super Rugby game for the Highlanders. After debuting in 2012 against the Brumbies, Dixon has featured in all positions in the back row and scored a memorable try against the Hurricanes to help the Highlanders to their 2015 title. The match will be the first time the two teams have played each other under the roof at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium. In their lone previous meeting three years ago, the Highlanders won 43-8 at the Estadio Jose Amalfitani in Buenos Aires.

The visitors looked good in their first outing under the roof at Forsyth Barr Stadium, they were high on confidence from winning four-straight and started the better of the two sides. They scored first off the back of a superb grubber from winger Sebastian Cancelliere which saw Matias Moroni score the opening try. The Highlanders worked their way back into the match lead by Josh Ioane who set up flanker James Lentjes who scored the home side’s first try. Halfback Aaron Smith set up the third try of the match with a dummy that saw Matt Faddes finish off the set piece. The Argentinian side was content with scoring in penalties and that’s how they kept within touching distance, but two late tries for the Highlanders through Sio Tomkinson and Liam Coltman saw the score push out to 26 – 13 at half time. The Jaguares scored two minutes into the second half as lock Marcos Kremer closed the gap to just six points. Josh Ioane slotted two penalty kicks to extend the lead to 12 points, but the visitors didn’t give up – scoring a fantastic counter-attack try through winger Ramiro Moyano which set up a frantic finish with the Highlanders clinging on to a five-point lead. The Jaguares pushed for a late try but stubborn defence from the hosts kept them out – a penalty on the hooter was enough for the men from the south to escape with the win, ending the Jaguares’ four-game winning streak.
