Cape Town - Highlanders head coach Jamie Joseph has named an unchanged starting side to the one that beat the Waratahs in last weekend's Super Rugby semi-final in Sydney.
The New Zealand franchise announced the side on their website on Thursday.
The Highlanders take on the Hurricanes in Saturday's final at 09:35 (SA time).
Elliot Dixon will play his 50th Super Rugby game for the Highlanders, capping off a great season for the Southland loose forward who was also named in the Maori All Blacks team earlier this week.
The backs have a settled look to them with the only change being Marty Banks returning to the reserves bench.
This will be the Highlanders' first final since they played the Crusaders in Dunedin in 1999.
