The Crusaders Knights head north again this weekend, this time to face the Hurricanes Development team in Wellington.

Head Coach Scott Robertson has made four changes to his starting fifteen that played the Blues Development last week.

Tyler Bleyendaal returns to the number 10 jersey moving Tyrone Elkington into second five-eighth.  Adrian Barone is rested to give loosehead prop Daniel Lienert-Brown game time. While injured Jimmy Tupou is replaced by Jordan Taufua at number eight. The only other change to the team is Rameka Paraki who takes the field as halfback.

The game takes place on Saturday 9th March at Porirua Park, Wellington. Kick off is at 1.30pm.
