    The All Blacks loose forward had been missing with a hamstring injury.

    Damian McKenzie and Cortez Ratima will sit out another week following the new additions to their respective families.

    A third different jersey number in as many weeks for the Crusaders' Leicester Fainga'anuku.

    Fainga'anuku was on the left wing in the opening round loss to the Highlanders, and used as midfield bench impact last week in the defeat to the Brumbies.

    Coach Rob Penney's challenged Fainga'anuku to take his opportunity.



    Braydon Ennor makes way, he's been granted leave to attend a wedding.

    Codie Taylor is out with a minor rib injury.
