Harlequins fullback and Tasman Makos elite training squad member George Millar will captain the Marlborough Red Devils Sub-Union representative team to play Ellesmere Sub-Union in Kaikoura on Wednesday.

Millar captained Marlborough last year in the early matches until having to withdraw through injury. Vice-captain is Crusaders forward Joe Wheeler.

He packs down at No8 while ex-Canterbury, Otago and Highlanders midfielder Aaron Bancroft plays his first game in the red jumper since scoring three tries against East Coast at Lansdowne Park in a second division match in 2005.

Central flanker Adam Goldsworthy is under an injury cloud.

Two players, Moutere prop Joe Collins and Central prop Jonathan Tiueti, were not considered for selection because they missed yesterday's training.

A full preview of Wednesday's match, which kicks off at 2pm at Takahanga Domain, will appear in tomorrow's The Marlborough Express.

Marlborough Sub-Union team: George Millar (cpt), Greg Blick, Aaron Bancroft, Onolevu Temo, Rawiri Tamati, Daniel Hawkins, Nick Corkin, Joe Wheeler, Adam Goldsworthy or Ryan MacDonald, Reyne Volavola, Stu Campbell, Warrick de Waal, Wayne Caldwell, Vernon Fredericks, Joe Va'atuitui. Subs: Simon Muir, Anaru Norton, Hamish Greenwood, Manu Mataele, Hepe Beech, Liam Chennells, Hamish Murray.
