KEY POINTS:
All six of the Crusaders' All Blacks return from conditioning to start in Saturday's Super 14 rugby match against the Stormers in Christchurch.
Crusaders coach Robbie Deans said it was important to get the returning international players under way "as soon as was possible".
"They're all keen to play. Some of them might not be able to go the full eighty (minutes) at this stage of their preparation, but the sooner we get them involved, the sooner we will get them up to full speed."
The team is:
Leon MacDonald, Rico Gear, Casey Laulala, Aaron Mauger, Scott Hamilton, Daniel Carter, Andrew Ellis, Mose Tuiali'i, Richard McCaw, Reuben Thorne, Chris Jack, Ross Filipo, Campbell Johnstone, Corey Flynn (captain), Wyatt Crockett.
Reserves: Ti'i Paulo, Ben Franks, Michael Paterson, Kieran Read Johnny Leo'o, Kevin Senio, Stephen Brett.
