Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has made three changes to his side for Saturday’s Super rugby match against the Highlanders.

There’s another milestone for the Whitelock family with Sam Whitelock returning to the second row for his 50th appearance for the franchise.

Zac Guildford returns to the wing while Matt Todd starts at openside.

Tyler Bleyendaal retains his place at first-five, but will be under pressure with a fit again Tom Taylor coming onto the bench.

The Crusaders will play the Highlanders at 7.35pm this Saturday.
