WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Owen Franks and Codie Taylor will return from injury to bolster the Canterbury Crusaders' scrum for their Super Rugby quarter-final against the Otago Highlanders on Friday, reuniting with All Blacks team mate Joe Moody for the first time this season.

The duo's return for the game in Christchurch has allowed Scott Robertson to name his strongest team of the season as they bid for their third successive title.
