Richie McCaw will make his much awaited return to Super Rugby this week.

The Crusaders have named McCaw for the first time this season in their team to face the Waratahs in Sydney on Sunday.

McCaw has recovered from the surgery he received on his right foot last year and will start from the bench.

The Crusaders will meet the Waratahs at 6:10pm this Sunday.

Meanwhile in the lone Super Rugby match tomorrow the Reds will tackle the Blues at 7:35pm.
