    Crusaders to boast All Blacks forward pack for Saturday's quarter final against Highlanders

    The Crusaders will be able to boast an All Blacks forward pack for Saturday's Super Rugby quarter final against the Highlanders in Christchurch


    Prop Owen Franks returns from two and a half months out with a shoulder injury, while hooker Codie Taylor will join him and Joe Moody after recovering from a fractured finger.

    Coach Scott Robertson says it's fantastic to have seven All Blacks in his forward pack.



    In the backs, George Bridge will start on the left wing in place of Braydon Ennor, who will come off the bench.
