All Blacks player rest policy could result in a significantly different looking Crusaders team to play the Sunwolves in Brisbane this Saturday.

Several All Blacks are due to take their required rest including skipper Scott Barrett, Richie Mo'unga, Jack Goodhue,  Joe Moody and Codie Taylor.

Among prospects for the game are Brett Cameron to start at first five-eighth with Development player Fergus Burke on the bench.

Dallas McLeod is likely to get another start at second five with Braydon Ennor returning outside him.

Assistant coach Jason Ryan says because they have been training immensely hard over the last couple of months, now they get an opportunity to showcase their rugby talents and the club have every confidence in all of them.

The Crusaders will take on the Sunwolves at 5.35pm Saturday.
