Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has made three changes to his starting line‑up for tomorrow’s clash with the Highlanders in Dunedin.

Owen Franks starts at tighthead prop while Luke Romano will partner with Sam Whitelock in the second row.

At scrum‑half, Andy Ellis returns to the starting line up in place of Mitchell Drummond who along with Mike Alaalatoa and Scott Barrett joins a replacement bench that will offer plenty of impact when the chance arises for them.

The Highlanders will host the Crusaders at 7.35pm tomorrow.
