The Highlanders will be without two key players in their Super Rugby clash against the Stormers at Newlands on Saturday.
Patrick Osborne and prop Craig Millar were injured in their 34-18 win over the Sharks in Durban last Friday and will return home to New Zealand.

Osborne badly injured his ankle in the Kings Park clash while Millar injured his shoulder.
Argentinian tighthead prop Matias Diaz has flown over to South Africa to provide cover.
Diaz has six caps for Argentina and joined the Highlanders at the beginning of the season, but has only played three times off the bench.
Kick-off for Saturday’s clash at Newlands is at 15:00 SA Time.
