KEY POINTS:
The Highlanders have made two personnel changes and one significant positional switch to their side to face the Sharks in Sunday morning's (NZ time) Super 14 rugby match at Durban.
Charlie Hore will make his starting debut at first five-eighth , with Callum Bruce moving out one spot to replace second five-eighth Jason Kawau at second five-eighth.
The other change is in the forwards, where lock Kane Thompson returns to replace Filipo Levi for the Kings Park clash with the unbeaten Sharks.
It is bold call from coach Greg Cooper, seeking to cover the loss of injured No 10 Nick Evans.
Hore, 30, has played 17 provincial games for Otago and 13 for Canterbury but his two appearances off the bench for the Highlanders this month are his first at Super rugby level.
The brother of All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore and husband of former Silver Ferns shooter Belinda Colling, Hore has also played for Scottish club Borders.
