McCaw seen training with his Crusaders team mates

Richie McCaw was seen training with his Crusaders team mates today but there is no chance of him joining them for their crucial match against the Chiefs on Friday night.

Last week Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said McCaw may finally start playing this weekend.

Last week McCaw trained independently from the squad.

The Crusaders are expected to name their strongest lineup against the Chiefs and a win will secure a place in the playoffs while the Chiefs need just one more competition point to win the New Zealand conference.

The Chiefs will meet the Crusaders at 7:35pm.
