Team Injury Update v Waratahs

We would like to advise fans of the following changes to the Crusaders 23 to play the Waratahs tomorrow night:

Zach Gallagher has been ruled out of the match. He injured his left shoulder [AC joint] when playing last week’s game against the Melbourne Rebels. It was hoped he would be available this week but he has not made sufficient progress to play, however it is expected he will become available for next week’s game.

Zach's withdrawal from the side means Dominic Gardiner has an opportunity to start, and Hamish Dalzell (who has joined the side in Sydney) is on the bench. 

Updated Crusaders team to play the Waratahs:

1.   George Bower
2.   Codie Taylor (C)
3.   Oli Jager
4.   Dominic Gardiner
5.   Sam Whitelock (VC)
6.   Pablo Matera
7.   Tom Christie
8.   Cullen Grace
9.   Bryn Hall
10. Fergus Burke
11. Leicester Fainga'anuku
12. David Havili (VC)
