The Crusader Knights team has been named to take on the Highlanders Development squad tomorrow at 4pm at Logan Park in Dunedin.

The Crusader Knights is the Crusaders' development squad and includes both players from the Crusaders wider training group and development players selected from academies within the Crusaders franchise area. Part of its purpose is to allow non-selected Crusaders squad members to get match practice, and this weekend’s game will see Crusaders hooker Ben Funnell and lock Ross Kennedy take the field.

Next week the Crusader Knights play Fiji A at Rugby Park on Friday (9th March) at 3.00pm, entry to the match is complimentary.
