All Blacks captain passed fit to play
New Zealand captain Richie McCaw will make a timely return to the Crusaders line-up for the Super Rugby semi-final against the Stormers.
McCaw has not played since the narrow defeat to the Reds at the end of May after he suffered pains in his foot following surgery on a stress fracture.
However McCaw has been given the green light to return to action for Saturday's clash at Newlands.
McCaw will replace Matt Todd in the starting XV, with No.8 Kieran Read also given the all-clear.
The addition of McCaw will be the only change to the team which beat the Sharks 36-8 in the qualifying play-off game..
That means Israel Dagg (thigh) and Adam Whitelock (chest muscle) remain on the sidelines.
