Otago second five Ajay Faleafaga has been named to start for the New Zealand under-20 team in its second game against the Junior Wallabies in Wellington today.
Jack Taylor, who made his Highlanders debut this year, is at hooker, former Highlanders under-20 star Noah Hotham is at halfback, and Otago fullback Finn Hurley is on the bench.
The game, a curtain-raiser to the Hurricanes-Crusaders Super Rugby clash, is the last chance for the young players to impress before a squad is confirmed on Monday for the world under-20 championship in South Africa.
