The Crusaders will be eyeing another positive result against the Rebels tonight that would maintain their lead in the overall points table.
Currently the Crusaders are on 33 points with the Hurricanes (32), Highlanders (28) and Chiefs (26), who all have a game in hand, on their tails.
The Crusaders have won four of their last five games against the Rebels.
The return of Richie Mo’unga is timely as he comes straight back into the side, joined by the patient Mitchell Drummond in what is a half‑back pairing that should outclass the Rebels’ defence.
Jack Goodhue’s return is also a significant boost.
For the Rebels, the return of Will Genia and Jack Maddocks will boost their running game.
The Rebels will host the Crusaders at 9.45 tonight while the Hurricanes will take on the Jaguares at 7.35pm.
