The Crusaders will be without one of the most dangerous scavengers in Super Rugby, Matt Todd when they face the Stormers this Saturday.
Todd has joined a long list of All Blacks in the casualty ward following the Crusaders 45‑23 loss to the Chiefs last weekend where he suffered a broken thumb.
Crusaders coach Scott Robertson is hoping a medical update next Monday will paint a brighter picture, however, he knows there is a chance All Blacks openside flanker Todd could be unavailable for up to six weeks.
Billy Harmon now fixed his eyes on the Crusaders No.7 spot as Matt Todd carried his broken thumb into a recovery unit.
One other change to the side that started against the Chiefs is the switching of locks Scott Barrett and Luke Romano.
The Crusaders will face the Stormers at 6.35pm this Saturday.
In other matches, the Chiefs will meet the Blues at 6.35pm tomorrow while the Reds face the Brumbies at 9pm.
On Saturday the Sunwolves will take on the Rebels at 9pm.
On Sunday, the Sharks face the Waratahs at 1.05am, the Bulls meet the Lions at 3.15am while the Hurricanes take on the Jaguares at 9.40am.
