Crusaders lock Sam Whitelock will return to face the Highlanders this Saturday.
Whitelock, who was a late withdrawal from last week’s team, has returned to the starting line-up, which means Jimmy Tupou is on the bench.
While the Crusaders are already guaranteed a playoff spot, they are also working towards a second place qualification that would see them proceed directly to a home semifinal.
The Crusaders will face the Highlanders at 7.35pm this Saturday.
