The Crusaders have more reason to crush the Hurricanes this weekend as Dan Carter will play his 100th Super Rugby match for the men in red and black.

Carter will remain in the number 12 jumper for the Crusaders while new find Tom Taylor will stay at first five-eighth.

The only change comes on the right wing where speedster Sean Maitland has been replaced by Adam Whitelock.

Meanwhile, George Whitelock will also notch his 50th Super Rugby appearance, as will prop Owen Franks if he comes off the bench.

The Crusaders and Hurricanes match kicks off at 7.35pm Saturday.
