Sam Whitelock will lead the Crusaders onto the field when they face the Rebels tomorrow, as both team captain and the latest centurion.
The All Blacks second‑row will bring up his ton in front of a home crowd, with the team returning to AMI Stadium for the first time in seven weeks.
Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder has made four changes to the starting fifteen that played the Chiefs in Fiji last week.
In the forwards, Fiji born Alex Hodgman moves into the number one jersey, while Wyatt Crockett takes a spot on the bench.
Jimmy Tupou will start at number eight this week, with Kieran Read sitting out.
Luke Romano will provide lock cover for Whitelock and Scott Barrett, while Pete Samu joins the bench as loose forward support.
In the backs, Ryan Crotty returns to the team at centre, and Johnny McNicholl will take the right wing.
The Crusaders will take on the Rebels at 7.35pm tomorrow.
