Crusaders name unchanged side

Crusaders coach Robbie Deans has named an unchanged team for Saturday's Super 12 clash against the Highlanders in Dunedin. 

Deans has resisted the temptation to bring Richie McCaw back into the side, despite the All Black flanker taking a full part in training this week.  

Team:
Dave Hewett, Corey Flynn, Greg Somerville, Chris Jack, Ross Filipo, Reuben Thorne (captain), Johnny Leo'o, Mose Tuiali'i, Justin Marshall, Daniel Carter, Caleb Ralph, Aaron Mauger, Casey Laulala, Rico Gear and Leon MacDonald.  

Reserves:
Tone Kopelani, Campbell Johnstone, Sam Broomhall, Sam Harding, Jamie Nutbrown, Andrew Mehrtens and Scott Hamilton.
