(Reuters) -All Blacks prop Tamaiti Williams has been recalled to the Canterbury Crusaders team for Saturday's Super Rugby Pacific final in Christchurch against an unchanged Waikato Chiefs side.
The powerful tighthead missed last week's semi-final win over the Auckland Blues because of a knee problem but returns to join Codie Taylor and Fletcher Newell in the front row, forcing George Bower back to the bench.
