    A bittersweet return to the Crusaders starting side George Bower in tomorrow's Super Rugby semi final against the Blues in Christchurch

    A bittersweet return to the Crusaders starting side George Bower in tomorrow's Super Rugby semi final against the Blues in Christchurch


    The loosehead prop replaces Tamaiti Williams after he came from the field with a knee injury in last week's win over the Reds.

    Bower's hopeful his good mate is a chance of playing next week, should they advance.



    Bower's inclusion is the only change to the Crusaders run on side.

    The Blues have made just the one change to their match-day 23 with Zarn Sullivan to start at fullback in place of Corey Evans.
