Heat coaches Davida White and Josh Levi have named their side to take on the Bay of Plenty Volcanix in their Farah Palmer Cup match at Tauranga Domain on Sunday 4 September. Kick-off is at 12:05pm and it will be televised on Sky Sport as the curtain raiser to the Mitre 10 Cup fixture between Bay of Plenty and Otago.
