Crusaders make one change

Johannesburg - The Crusaders have made one change to their 22-man squad for their rugby Super 14 semi-final against the Bulls at Orlando Stadium in Soweto Saturday.

Scrumhalf Kahn Fotuali'i returns to the reserves bench in place of Willi Heinz, in the only change to the team that beat the Brumbies 40-22 in Christchurch last weekend.

Assistant coach Daryl Gibson said the majority of the squad were fit and raring to go, with flyhalf Dan Carter and prop Ben Franks carrying minor ankle niggles.

Gibson said both would train fully on Thursday and Friday, and would be fine to play the Bulls.

Crusaders: Owen Franks, Ti'i Paulo, Ben Franks, Brad Thorn, Sam Whitelock, George Whitelock, Richie McCaw (captain), Kieran Read, Andy Ellis, Daniel Carter, Zac Guildford, Daniel Bowden, Robbie Fruean, Sean Maitland, Colin Slade.

Substitutes: Daniel Perrin, Wyatt Crockett, Chris Jack, Thomas Waldrom, Kahn Fotuali'i, Tim Bateman, Jared Payne.
