The Crusaders and Blues face off on Anzac Day evening at AMI Stadium in Christchurch. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:35pm (AEST).

It has been a season to forget for the Blues, with the only real highlight coming fortnight ago with a tight win against the Brumbies.

Their opponents today have notched up the four wins so far this season, however find themselves off the pace in the dominant New Zealand conference.

The Crusaders enter this match with the confidence of recent dominance against the Blues at home in Christchurch.

In the three most recent meetings in Christchurch, the margin has been 7, 20 and 47-points.

Overcoming this history, on top of their poor form so far this season will be an immense challenge for the Blues.

Can the Blues rediscover the form that saw them knock off the Australian conference leaders two weeks back?

Or will the Crusaders keep in reaching distance of the NZ conference leaders as the season approaches the business end?
