Whitelock and Taylor in doubt for Super Rugby Pacific final

Sam Whitelock and Cody Taylor are in doubt for the Super Rugby Pacific Final when the Crusaders meet the Blues at Eden Park in Auckland.

Whitelock was named to start in the semi-final clash against the Chiefs but was withdrawn at the last minute due to a thumb injury.

Taylor lasted for just 40 minutes before heading to the sidelines due to a strained hamstring in the first half and didn’t return to the field after the halftime buzzer.

According to Crusaders Assistant Coach Tamati Ellison, they are not 100 percent sure whether Whitelock and Taylor will play this week, however, they will monitor them and give them every chance, just like any other player.

The Crusaders have won 10 Super Rugby titles while, the Blues have won 3.

The Crusaders meet the Blues at 7.05pm Saturday.
