The Crusaders have named an unchanged starting XV to tackle the Chiefs in their semi final showdown.
The New Zealand Conference champions were hardly troubled by the Highlanders in their 17-0 quarter final win and as a result, coach Scott Robertson has elected to keep the run the same 15 players out on Saturday evening.
The Chiefs, in contrast, have tweaked the side that beat the Stormers in Cape Town.
Coach Dave Rennie has handed Charlie Ngatai the start at inside centre, relegating Stephen Donald to the bench.
Tim Nanai-Williams also comes in on the right wing, Solomon Alaimalo shifting to the bench.
