The Crusaders booked their place in the Super Rugby semi finals after a convincing 36-8 win over the Sharks in Nelson last night.
The Crusaders will now travel to Cape Town to face the Stormers while the Blues will visit Brisbane where they will clash with the Reds.
Tries from Sonny Bill Williams, skipper Kieran Read and Ben Franks and 19 points from the boot of Dan Carter saw the seven time champions book an amazing 13th semi final.
The Crusaders head off to South Africa on Sunday to play the Stormers in the Investec Super Rugby semi-finals after overcoming another South African opposition, the Sharks in their play-off elimination on Saturday night.
The other semi-final will feature the Blues against the top qualifiers, the Reds in Brisbane.
