Jake expects contestable kicking

The Highlanders are well known for running, spreading the ball and utilizing their wingers.

Ben Smith is always a threat and his return is likely to be a major boost after the loss to the Crusaders last weekend.

White says the Highlanders tend to kick contestable kicks that allow them a 50-50 shot at regaining possession.

This means the Sharks will need to be sharp should such an aerial battle materialise. The Highlanders, White feels, are likely to launch some high bombs chased hard by their speedy wide men.

The winner of tomorrow's match in Durban will secure a semi-final date with the Crusaders in Christchurch next week.

Kickoff at Growthpoint Kings Park is at 17h05.
