Nemani Nadolo will return for the Crusaders when they face the Blues at Eden Park tomorrow.
Nemani Nadolo returns to the side this week following a four week suspension and will join Johnny McNicholl on the wing.
The Crusaders beat Australian Conference leaders the Waratahs in their last outing so Blackadder has kept changes to a minimum.
Lock Sam Whitelock has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
This means Scott Barrett will enter the starting lineup and Jimmy Tupou take a place in the reserves.
The Hurricanes face the Highlanders at 7.35 tonight while the Waratahs play the Chiefs at 9.40pm.
The Crusaders take on the Blues at 7.35pm tomorrow.
