Marty BanksMarty Banks appears to be an unlikely starter for the Highlanders this week despite making the long trek to Cape Town. Walden came off just before halftime in the match against the Lions in Johannesburg for a head injury assessment. A statement from the Highlanders yesterday said Walden was returning to New Zealand while Banks was set to head to South Africa. But with the long flight to Cape Town and not having played for seven weeks, it is unlikely Banks will start the game. Strictly seen as a No10, Banks may come in to the match-day squad to play the Stormers as a replacement.
