All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has been rushed back into the Crusaders starting 15 for tomorrow's Super Rugby semi-final against the Sharks in Christchurch.
McCaw has recovered from injury and will play at blindside, pushing Jordan Taufua to the bench.
Coach, Todd Blackadder said Matt Todd’s form was too good to overlook, forcing McCaw to play out of his preferred position.
Kieran Read captains the side from number 8.
Corey Flynn has claimed the starting hookers spot for his 150th Crusaders game, with Ben Funnell dropping to the reserves.
The Crusaders will take on the Sharks at 7.35pm tomorrow while the Waratahs will play the Brumbies at 9.40pm.
