    The Crusaders are still getting use to a few less old heads around camp

    The Crusaders are still getting use to a few less old heads around camp


    The three-time defending Super Rugby champions head into their season opener this weekend without the likes of Kieran Read, Ryan Crotty and Owen Franks, who all took up contracts offshore.

    Outside back Will Jordan says it's forced others to step up.



    The Crusaders open their season against the Waratahs on Saturday.
