McLean Park in Napier on a clear afternoon

Hawke's Bay have named three debutants in the side to face Manawatū at McLean Park on Saturday.

The selection follows a run of injuries in the loose forwards, and gives first starts to two players who were in club rugby a month ago.

You pick on form, and the form was in the clubs. — Head coach Danny Lee

Kick-off is 2:35pm.
