BNZ Crusaders team to play the Blues
The BNZ Crusaders will play their final fixture before the June International window against the Blues at Eden Park. Head Coach Todd Blackadder has made three changes to the starting fifteen that beat the Waratahs last weekend.
Lock Sam Whitelock has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, which sees Scott Barrett enter the starting line-up and Jimmy Tupou take a place in the reserves.
Halfbacks Andy Ellis and Mitchell Drummond have rotated so that Drummond takes the starting spot this weekend.
Nemani Nadolo returns to the side this week following a four week suspension, and will join Johnny McNicholl on the wings.
Kick-off for the Blues vs BNZ Crusaders is at 7:35pm this Saturday night.
