The Crusaders have been hit with yet another setback in the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season as their captain, Scott Barrett, will be sidelined for six weeks due to injury. This comes after a training session injury that led to Barrett breaking his finger ahead of the team's recent loss to the Fijian Drua. With Barrett out, David Havili will step into the role of captain for the upcoming derby against the Hurricanes. The team's lineup sees some changes, with Riley Hohepa starting at fly-half and Zach Gallagher filling in at lock. The match is set to take place on Friday, March 15 at Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch. Kick-off is at 19:05 local time. The referee for the game will be James Doleman, with assistants Jono Bredin and Fraser Hannon, and TMO Chris Hart.
