Setareki Tamanivalu has been listed to start on the wing for the Crusaders in the Super Rugby final this Sunday.
Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has named an unchanged team for the final against the Lions at Ellis Park.
The Crusaders have been boosted by the availability of All Black duo Kieran Read and Owen Franks who were injury concerns following last weekend’s semifinal win over the Chiefs.
Despite No 8 Read limping off with a knee injury in the 27‑13 win over the Chiefs in Christchurch, and tighthead prop Franks having to be replaced at half‑time by Mike Alaalatoa the two All Blacks have been confirmed as starters as the Crusaders seek an eighth Super Rugby title.
The Crusaders meet the Lions in the Super Rugby final at 2am Sunday.
