Clare is out after a head knock during rugby duties last week, while Harding is in the starting line-up in Steelform Wanganui's must win Heartland rugby clash with North Otago at Cooks Gardens tomorrow.
Gill, who has been back home playing club cricket and preparing for the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand in January as the Canadian captain, has not had his visa renewed in time.
