The Crusaders hope to climb the hurdle they haven't managed for the past two seasons, beating the Drua in Fiji.
Coach Rob Penney has named his side, with multiple changes from last week's upset loss against Moana Pasifika.
The major change comes at centre, where Fijian-born Sevu Reece will start his first ever game in the 13 jersey, something he says he is really excited for.
“A goal of mine was to play centre at this level, test myself against the best of the best.
"To get this opportunity this week, I’m just so, so excited.”
It was always going to be a special week for Reece, as it's the only time he gets to play in front of his family, who reside in Fiji. He is also one try off becoming the all-time Super Rugby leading try scorer, something he says he would love to do in front of his mum and dad.
“It would be very special to them to see their son make history.
"If I break this record it’ll be history for them, and them knowing that all the sacrifice they’ve done for their son has paid off.”
Reece’s move to centre opens up a spot for try scoring machine Macca Springer, who has his recent run of form rewarded with another opportunity to start on the left wing. Chay Fihaki holds down the right for yet another week.
