The Hurricanes host the Crusaders at Westpac Stadium on Saturday evening. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:35pm (AEST).
The Crusaders suffered a huge blow this week with skipper Richie McCaw (concussion) ruled out of their clash with Super Rugby’s ladder leaders – a must-win, if they are to keep their playoff hopes alive.
It will take something special for them to knock off the Hurricanes without him, since the Wellington-based outfit are supremely confident after eight wins in their last nine outings.
They’ve also not lost to the Crusaders at home for three years.
