The Crusaders will spread the remainder of their home Super Rugby matches around both South and North island centres of New Zealand.

The franchise announced the remainder of the team's home fixture list, which has had to be rescheduled after the earthquake that devastated Christchurch last month and also seriously damaged their home ground.

The Crusaders, in London preparing to play the Sharks at Twickenham on Monday morning (AEDT), will return home to New Zealand to play the Bulls at Timaru on April 9, the Highlanders at Nelson on April 23, the Chiefs at Napier on May 21, the Blues at Timaru on June 11 and the Hurricanes at Wellington on June 18.
