Champion takes on champion at Suncorp Stadium when the Super Rugby AU premiers, the Queensland Reds, take on the powerhouse of New Zealand, the Crusaders. Keep an eye on this rugby blockbuster right here on The Roar with live scores from 7:45pm (AEST).

The Reds were soundly beaten by the Highlanders in their first Trans-Tasman match, losing 40-19. However, Brad Thorn chose to start a number of first-choice players, most notably Taniela Tupou, on the bench following their bruising Super Rugby AU final win just six days earlier. It’s expected they will put up a much greater fight this time around.

However, the Crusaders remain just as formidable a force as ever. Super Rugby Aotearoa premiers for the second year running, the men from Christchurch are a lean, mean rugby machine. They were pushed all the way by the Brumbies at home, though, only a late penalty miss seeing them hold on for a 31-29 win.

They will also have to find a way to cover the loss of talismanic captain Scott Barrett through illness.
