Crusaders fullback Israel Dagg is expected to make a comeback against the Jaguares next Friday.
Dagg has been out with a serious shoulder injury he suffered playing for Hawke’s Bay in September last year.
This will also be an opportunity for him to remind All Blacks selectors.
The Crusaders edged the Western Force 20-19 in their match on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Reds overcame the Highlanders with a 28-27 win, the Hurricanes beat the Jaguares 40-22, the Lions defeated the Sharks 24-9, the Bulls thrashed the Kings 38-6, the Chiefs beat the Blues 29-23 and the Stormers thrashed the Sunwolves 46-19.
The Crusaders play the Jaguares at 7.35pm next Friday.
