The Queensland Reds have named an unchanged lineup for Saturday night's Super rugby final against the Crusaders at a sold out Suncorp Stadium.

Reds' coach Ewen McKenzie has kept with the same 22-man squad that beat the Blues 30-13 in last week's semi-final.

It's the first time this season the Reds have fielded the same 22-man squad in consecutive weeks.

While Mckenzie only once named the same staring 15, ironically when they beat the Crusaders 17-16 on May 29.

"At this stage you benefit greatly from continuity and the team we selected against the Blues did a wonderful job and deserve another opportunity," he said.

"Playing in a final is something you treasure and never take for granted and I know the team is excited by the opportunity in front of them.

"We've accomplished alot both on and off the field in the past 18 months and a final victory would be an incredible way to cap off this season."

The Crusaders have also stuck with the same side that overcame the Stormers in Cape Town last weekend but halfback Andy Ellis is in doubt and will have to pass a fitness test on Thursday.

The 27-year-old All Black was bracketed with Kahn Fotuali'i in the side as he recovers from knee and shoulder bruising.

Queensland team: Jono Lance, Rod Davies, Anthony Faingaa, Ben Tapuai, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Radike Samo, Beau Robinson, Scott Higginbotham, James Horwill (capt), Rob Simmons, Greg Holmes, Saia Faingaa, Ben Daley.
