Sonny Bill Williams is set to make his Crusaders Super Rugby debut this weekend.

The midfielder has been recovering from a leg injury but coach Todd Blackadder is confident he will be ready to face to the Waratahs in Nelson on Friday night.

He says they'll name the team tomorrow but he's looking good and it's nice to have Williams back in the side.

Blackadder says they've prepared well despite the distractions following the earthquake in Christchurch.
