Crusaders boss Colin Mansbridge on Sunday confirmed the match against the Melbourne-based Rebels would be played at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday (4.35pm NZT).
Victoria's latest Covid-19 enforced lockdown had already forced Sanzaar to relocate two matches – Highlanders v Rebels and Chiefs v Rebels – to Leichhardt Oval in Sydney’s west.
Unlike the first two relocated games, Saturday’s match was scheduled as a home game for the Rebels.
The Crusaders will depart Christchurch on Thursday, and will know exactly what they need to do to crack the final come kickoff.
