The Crusaders have made two changes to the starting fifteen that beat the Blues, for Friday's Super 14 rugby match against the Chiefs in Hamilton.
Lock Isaac Ross replaces Sam Whitelock at lock and halfback Kahn Fotuali'i starts in place of Andy Ellis who suffered a head knock in the Blues game.
Thomas Waldrom and Ben Franks will both be available to take their places on the reserves bench.
Number eight Waldrom didn't play last weekend due to an Achilles tendon strain while Franks had a knee injury.
