The Crusaders will put out plenty of firepower for their game against the Highlanders in Waimumu tomorrow. The defending Super Rugby champion will field almost a full team of All Blacks across its side, with nine current members of the national side in the starting team. The Crusaders will again be led by Sam Whitelock, who will be backed up by deputies Ryan Crotty and Matt Todd. There is plenty of experience in the Crusaders pack, with Wyatt Crockett starting at loosehead prop. Such is the Crusaders depth, quality players such as George Bridge and Tim Bateman are on the bench.
