Crusaders Knights Head Coach Scott Robertson has named the team to play Blues Development squad this Saturday 2nd March. The game takes place at Pakuranga Rugby Football Club in Auckland with kick off at 2pm.
It is a relatively new look side to the starting fifteen that played the Highlanders development last weekend. Robertson has maintained eight players from last weekend’s clash; Barone, Everson, Symons, Christie, Su'a, Hifo, and Barrett while Crusader Jimmy Tupou moves from Blindside Flanker to the Number Eight jersey.
With Owen Franks and Tyler Bleyendaal called up to the Crusaders this weekend the opportunity arises for Paea Fa’anunu to take the tighthead prop position while Tyrone Elkington moves into the number 10 jersey.
The team will be captained by lock Matt Symons.
