The Crusaders have made just one change to their team to play the Force, with Kieran Read returning to play for the first time in six weeks.

Read, who has fully recovered from the concussion sustained in the Chiefs game will captain the side and play at Number 8.

Flying Fijian wing Nemani Nodolo retained his spot in the starting lineup and is expected spearhead the Crusaders attack.

This will be the Crusaders final home game before the June test window and Head Coach Todd Blackadder says the home crowd support is going to be more important than ever.

 
The Crusaders will take on the Western Force at 7.35pm tomorrow  followed by the Reds and the Highlanders at 9.40
