Buenos Aires - Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has rewarded in-form wing Manasa Mataele with a start in their Super Rugby clash against the Jaguares on Saturday (kick-off 23:40 SA time).
Mataele replaces Seta Tamanivalu, while Tim Bateman has been named at centre in place of Jack Goodhue, who has returned home to New Zealand with a hamstring injury.
Robertson has made two changes, and one positional change, to his starting forward pack for this game.
The Crusaders' latest Super Rugby centurion Luke Romano has been promoted to the starting line-up and will partner Sam Whitelock.
In the loose trio, Tom Sanders moves from the bench to the starting XV and will wear the No 6, while Heiden Bedwell-Curtis moves to No 8.
