All Black first five Dan Carter has been ruled out of the Crusaders lineup to play the Bulls in their Super Rugby clash in Timaru on Saturday night.
Carter still hasn't recovered from the hamstring injury he suffered against the Sharks in London a fortnight ago, meaning Matt Berquist will get his first start of the season.
Lock Sam Whitelock won't play because of an ankle injury and is replaced by Chris Jack, while in the front row Ben Franks replaces his brother Owen.
