The Crusaders have made a number of changes to their team for Saturday's clash against the Kings in Christchurch.
Coach Todd Blackadder has rested All Blacks Kieran Read, Joe Moody, Codie Taylor and Andy Ellis, while handing starts to prop Wyatt Crockett and hooker Ben Funnell. Lock Luke Romano, loose forward Matt Todd, scrumhalf Mitchell Drummond and fullback Marty McKenzie will all start in their first games of the season.
David Havili shifts to inside centre and Kieron Fonotia to 13, with Johnny McNicholl and Nemani Nadolo on the wings.
