Loading...The BNZ Crusaders will play their second away game in South Africa this weekend when they face the Lions. Head Coach Todd Blackadder has made four changes to the team that beat the Sharks last weekend.
Prop Wyatt Crockett wears the number 1 jersey this week, rotating with Joe Moody who will take a spot on the bench.
Luke Romano and Scott Barrett are the starting locks, with Sam Whitelock in the reserves.
Jimmy Tupou and Jordan Taufua have also rotated, with Tupou starting at 6 this week and Taufua preparing to make an impact off the bench.
The starting backline is unchanged from last week, but Sean Wainui joins the reserves to make a 5/3 forwards/backs split on the bench.
Kick off is at 7pm Friday night in Johannesburg, or at 6am Saturday morning on Sky Sport in New Zealand.
