Hurricanes coach Jason Holland will reunite powerhouse wings Salesi Rayasi and Julian Savea for their clash with a dangerous Blues backline.
Savea returns to the starting lineup on the right wing amid three changes from the side who beat the Highlanders 30-19 in Dunedin last Friday.
Wes Goosen drops to the bench to allow Savea to return to No 14, while in the pack, lock James Blackwell and prop Fraser Armstrong return for Isaia Walker-Leawere and Xavier Numia.
The Crusaders take on the Highlanders at 6.05pm today while the Blues play the Hurricanes at 6.05pm tomorrow.
