Crusaders Make Two Changes For Super Rugby Final

The Crusaders will host the Lions in Christchurch this Saturday night, in the Super Rugby Final. The match will be the first time the Crusaders have played a Final on home soil since 2008.

Head Coach Scott Robertson has named his team for the match, and there is just one change from the starting XV that took the field in last weekend's Semi-Final against the Hurricanes and one change on the reserves bench.

In the No. 6 jersey, Heiden Bedwell-Curtis will start, in place of injured loose forward Jordan Taufua, who fractured his arm in the Semi-Final. Last weekend's reserve hooker, Seb Siataga, also fractured his arm in that match and has been replaced by Sam Anderson-Heather as back up to Codie Taylor. 

In total, 19 of the Crusaders' match day 23 named for this Saturday, were also involved in last year's Final against the same opposition in Johannesburg.
