BNZ CRUSADERS NAMED TO PLAY BLUES
We are now preparing for a series of New Zealand derbies leading in to the June international window, starting this weekend with the Blues at Eden Park.
Razor has named his starting side for this match, which features six changes and one positional switch from the side that took the field against the Waratahs.
In the front row, Owen Franks returns along with Tim Perry whi has recovered from a hamstring injury. Quinten Strange steps in to the starting team this week in place of regular Captain Sam Whitelock, with Matt Todd to lead the side in his absence. The only other change in the forward pack sees Heiden Bedwell-Curtis take the starting spot in the No. 6 jersey.
In the backs, Vice Captain Ryan Crotty returns this week, and will line up in the midfield alongside Jack Goodhue. Outside back George Bridge will shift from fullback to the left wing for this game, and David Havili will wear the No. 15 jersey.
Kick off is 7:35pm, Saturday 19 May, at Eden Park in Auckland.
