Show Preview
The Crusaders and Chiefs meet for the first semi-final in Super Rugby Pacific. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:05pm AEST.
The Crusaders are tough to beat at Orangetheory Stadium and they’ll start as clear favourites in this one.
Tom Christie returns to replace Ethan Blackadder who suffered a dislocolated shoulder.
If a semi-final isn’t enough to get the Crusaders pumped up they also have their coach Scott Robertson celebrating 100 matches in charge of the franchise.
In that time he has an incredible 83% winning streak.
The Chiefs will want to spoil the party and they have a handy inclusion with All Blacks captain Sam Cane back in the mix. He’ll start on the bench.
There’s only one other change with Josh Ioane starting at fullback in place of Emoni Narawa.
A spot in the Super Rugby Pacific final is up for grabs with the winner to face either the Blues or Brumbies who meet tomorrow night.
