Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder has named his team to play in their final
Super Rugby pre-season match which is against the Hurricanes at Blenheim's
Lansdowne Park .
The match will be played at 4:30pm on Friday, with the Crusaders Knights and

Head Coach Todd Blackadder has made just three changes to the starting fifteen
that drew with the Highlanders last week.

Andy Ellis providing cover off the bench.

Sean Wainui and Kieron Fonotia switch places this week so that Fonotia starts
and centre and Wainui at second five. The forwards remain unchanged from last
week.
