Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has made 3 changes to his side to take on the Sharks in their Super Rugby clash in Durban this weekend.

Andy Ellis returns to halfback, Zac Guildford moves to the left wing to replace Johnny McNicholl while Adam Whitelock takes his place on the right wing.

South African based Sharks are currently sitting near the top of the table having won 4 out of 5 games and have come off a bye last week.

The two teams last met in 2011 in the playoffs where the Crusaders won 36-8 securing a place in the semifinals.

The Sharks will host the Crusaders at 5:10am Saturday.

Tomorrow the Highlanders play the Blues at 6:35pm and the Brumbies meet the Kings.
