The Super Rugby competition is just two rounds in but the Crusaders are already feeling the pressure. That of course is points table pressure, as the Crusaders sit with a big fat 0 after losses to the Chiefs and Blues.

Wyatt Crockett will start at number one while Tim Perry moves to the bench. Luke Romano takes one of the starting lock positions alongside Sam Whitelock and Luke Whitelock takes the number 6 jersey from his eldest brother George, who is recovering from an adductor strain.

With Richie McCaw having just had surgery on a broken thumb, Matt Todd steps into the number 7 starting spot and Jordan Taufua will take a place on the bench.

In the backs, Willi Heinz will start at halfback this week and Andy Ellis will be ready to provide cover from the bench. Dagg starts on one wing this week and Johnny McNicholl on the other.

The Stormers scraped home against the Hurricanes in Cape Town last week, and suffered a heavy defeat in Johannesburg against the Lions a week earlier.

The last South African team to achieve that feat was the Cats, who won 32-21 in 2001.
