Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder while speaking to TVNZ said they know how important it is to win in front of their fans and with the return of McCaw, it will certainly lift the morale of the players.


Captain Kieran Read said he is confident that McCaw will give his best when he gets the chance to come on the field.
