The Crusaders have made two changes to their team to play the Waratahs in Christchurch tomorrow.
Half back Andy Ellis will start the match and will win his 150th Super Rugby cap making him the third Crusaders to reach the milestone.
The two changes will see rotations at both prop and second five, with Joe Moody and Ryan Crotty taking the starting spots, and Wyatt Crockett and David Havili moving to the bench.
Jone Macilai will start at number 11.
Coach Todd Blackadder says it would be a special occasion for Ellis, but also for the whole team who will be determined to make it a night to remember for their teammate.
The Crusaders will meet the Waratahs at 7.35pm tomorrow.
