The news is not so good for Quade Cooper.

While Richie McCaw reckons he doesn't carry grudges into matches, the open side flanker certainly hasn't forgotten the way a gloating Cooper shoved him in the head in Hong Kong last year.

On Sunday night the pair will meet for the first time since the Tri-Nations Test when the Wallabies beat the All Blacks, 26-24 in Hong Kong.

While he may not have to worry about copping a punch from McCaw, his bones could be at risk of compressing if the Crusaders skipper launches all 106kg his way in a well executed tackle.

The Reds and Crusaders match kicks off at 6:10pm on Sunday.

Meanwhile the lone game on Friday at 7:35pm will see the Hurricanes meeting the Force.
