    Fergus Burke admits he thought he may never get another opportunity to play for the Crusaders again after David Havili's positional switch to first five

    Fergus Burke admits he thought he may never get another opportunity to play for the Crusaders again after David Havili's positional switch to first five


    The 24-year-old made his long awaited return from an achilles tendon rupture in last week's loss to the Brumbies - with Havili returning to second five to cover for the injured Dallas McLeod.

    The pair remain the 10-12 combo for tonight's clash against the Blues.

    Burke heads to English club Saracens at the end of the year, but is stoked to have a last hurrah with the Crusaders.
