All in all a great week of Super Rugby and it does not slow down with a tantalizing Blues versus Crusaders clash this Friday night high on the rugby watching agenda.

The young Blues outfit led by veteran Captain Ali Williams comes into this match on a high after an impressive victory against the Hurricanes last week.

Blues coach, Sir John Kirwan wants to take the Blues back to their glory days and has been analysing what did not work in the past.

Meanwhile, the Crusaders are expected to dominate the forward play with majority of their All Blacks players available for this weekend.

Star players that are likely to play for the Crusaders on Friday include Owen Franks, Cory Flynn, Luke Romano, Kieran Reid, Dan Carter, Robbie Fruen, Israel Dagg and the Whitelock brothers.

The Blues will take on the Crusaders at 6.35pm this Friday.

In two other matches on Friday, Waratahs will play the Rebels at 8.20pm and at 10.20pm the Hurricanes will take on the Reds.
