The Crusaders are hoping for the best tonight.

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said that there are three factors motivating his players, one is keeping their playoff hopes alive, avenging their loss to the Chiefs earlier in the season and making up for their loss to the Hurricanes last weekend.

The Crusaders will be hoping to secure a spot in the Super Rugby playoffs with a win tonight over competition leaders the Chiefs at 7.35 while the Highlanders takes on defending champions the Reds at 9:40pm.
