Having scored five tries to one against the Hurricanes last weekend, Crusaders boss Scott Robertson has stuck with the tried and tested and made no changes to the team for this match.

As such, the Crusaders will call upon 11 All Blacks for their match-up with the Chiefs – including seven starters who featured for New Zealand at last year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan.

Codie Taylor, who was handed the captain’s armband last week, retains leadership duties after regular captain Scott Barrett undertook surgery earlier this week which will rule him out for the entire competition.

Braydon Ennor, who sustained a haematoma against the Hurricanes and didn’t return after the halftime whistle, has recovered sufficiently to take his place in the midfield.
