The Crusaders have lost centre Casey Laulala from their side for their Super 14 rugby match against the Blues in Christchurch this weekend.
Laulala was named in the starting squad yesterday morning, but has failed to recover from a head knock he suffered last week during the loss to the Chiefs.
The Crusaders’ medical team ruled him out after he failed a fitness test at training yesterday.
Laulala has been replaced by Caleb Ralph.

You wanna see my suprised face? 🙂
A player will ALWAYS be stood down for at least a week, following a knock like that
I’m taking a gamble and picking the Blues here. Hoping Nacewa will make the difference
