BNZ Crusaders Head Coach Scott Robertson has named an unchanged backline to face the Waratahs this Sunday evening.  In the forwards, there are four changes from the starting line-up that faced the Force last weekend.

Joe Moody returns to the line-up to start at loosehead prop, with Wyatt Crockett covering on the bench.

Scott Barrett, who had a successful outing at 6 last week, moves back into his more familiar position of lock alongside Sam Whitelock, with Luke Romano in the reserves.  Jordan Taufua shifts to 6 and Whetu Douglas returns at Number 8.

The BNZ Crusaders team flies to Sydney this afternoon and kick off  at Allianz Stadium is at 4:05pm local time, or 6:05pm NZ time, on Sunday night.
