All Blacks fullback Israel Dagg will start on the wing for the Crusaders in Saturday’s Super Rugby match against the Stormers in Christchurch.

Colin Slade has held onto the number 15 jersey, with Dagg coming into the starting 15 after playing off the bench in last week's loss to the Blues.

Coach Todd Blackadder said Slade has stamped his mark on the fullback position.

The Crusaders host the Stormers at 6.35pm Saturday.
