Despite being stuck in 11 th place , and facing the daunting prospect of playing the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday, Graham Mourie has kept a cool head in choosing his team.

Jerry Collins was suspended for a week following last weekend's defeat to the Cats, otherwise Mourie has named the same starting xv that went down 18-15.

Brent Thompson comes in on the blindside to replace Collins. The only other change involves the return of Jason O'Halloran to the bench after he was dropped against the Cats.

The Hurricanes team to play the Crusaders in Christchurch is as follows:

1. Kevin Yates
2. Norm Hewitt
3. Gordon Slater (capt)
4. Dion Waller
5. Paul Tito
6. Brent Thompson
7. Rodney So'oialo
8. Filo Tiatia
9. Jason Spice
10. David Holwell
11. Jonah Lomu
12. Paul Steinmetz
13. Tana Umaga
14. Brad Fleming
15. Christian Cullen

16. Davin Heaps
17. Tony Coughlan
18. Inoke Afeaki
19. Campbell Feather
20. Brendan Haami
21. Jason O'Halloran
22. Daryl Lilley
