The Crusaders have kept things consistent for their clash with the Cheetahs on the start of their South African Super Rugby tour.
Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has a familiar look for their game, with an unchanged forward pack named from the starting fifteen that beat the Stormers last weekend and just one change in the backline.
Bryn Hall will start at halfback while Codie Taylor will start at hooker for Andrew Makalio.
The unbeaten Crusaders are coming off their crushing 57‑23 victory over the Stormers last week, and despite the travel are still heavy favourites to beat the Cheetahs, who have lost five straight games since a competitive start to the season.
The Crusaders will take on the Cheetahs at 3.15am on Sunday while the Highlanders will host the Stormers tonight at 7.35pm.
