TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT
VODACOM SUPER RUGBY ROUND FIVE: CRUSADERS VS EMIRATES LIONS

Emirates Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has announced his team to face the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday.

Ackermann has opted for consistency, selecting the same starting side which beat the Blues 13-10 in Auckland last weekend.

Meanwhile, the bench sees just two changes with new Emirates Lions recruit Andries Ferreira providing lock cover and Marnitz Boshoff returning to the match day 23.

Kick-off is at 05h30 South Africa time. The match will be televised live via SuperSport 1 in South Africa.
