Cape Town - Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has made three changes to his starting line-up to take on the Hurricanes in Christchurch on Friday.
Kick-off is at 09:35 SA time.
Robertson's tweaks to his run-on side that defeated the Blues at Eden Park last weekend include two changes in the forwards and one in the backs.
In the front-row, Tim Perry has been ruled out due to a hamstring strain suffered at the All Blacks camp on Tuesday and Wyatt Crockett will start at loosehead.
On the opposite side of the scrum, Michael Alaalatoa steps in to the starting team at tighthead, in place of the banned Owen Franks.
The only change in the backline sees experienced midfielder Tim Bateman line up at inside centre in place of Ryan Crotty, who is unavailable this week due to concussion.
Bateman will also be vice-captain of the side alongside hooker Codie Taylor.
Matt Todd has again been named captain this week, with Sam Whitelock also unavailable due to concussion symptoms.
There is good news in the reserves, with Luke Romano returning from injury to provide cover at lock.
Chris King and Donald Brighouse come in to the match day side as prop cover, and Braydon Ennor will wear the No 23 jersey in place of the injured Manasa Mataele.
