The 31-year-old had received dispensation to miss Super Rugby and play in Japan in 2020, but the coronavirus outbreak made him go home early. Linking up again with the Crusaders, Whitelock is the seventh Crusader to reach 150 Super Rugby caps for the team. The Crusaders face a Chiefs side who have lost a club record seven successive games across both Super Rugby and New Zealand’s domestic Aotearoa competition.
