Coming off the back of a 43-10 loss to the Waikato Mooloos, the backline of the Bay of Plenty Steamers has had a bit of a reshuffle.

Dan Hollinshead will start at first five eight and Caleb Hall returns to second five eight as the Bay team prepares to take on Counties Manukau at ECO Light Stadium in Pukekohe tomorrow at 4.35pm.

The Steamers lost to Waikato last weekend but are now preparing to take on Counties Manukau.

Head Coach Clayton McMillan has made a number of changes to the starting XV, with a back line reshuffle.

'Whaimotu Craft-Chemis gets a start on the right wing, with Tino Nemani shifting to centre. Elijah Nicolas comes into the squad to take his position on the left wing, with Chase Tiatia moving to full back.”

Culum Retallick and Carl Axtens will co-captain the Steamers team.
