Two form teams of the last few of weeks play at Christchurch. Can the cru rise again to prove a potent force in 2014? Can the brumbies keep their unbeaten record in NZ going?

Game is on Saturday the third of May. Kick off 2:35p.

Hoodoo ground for the Brums - will need to dig deep to win vs the resurgent Crusaders.

But then, if you wanna be the best, you gotta beat' em all!

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Crusaders will always be a classy team. A real Test for the Brumbies.

Looking forward to seeing Lealifano regain some form after his injury lay-off. Will be interesting to see how he performs.

No brumbies side has won in Christchurch since 2000. So that must mean we are due.

Crusaders are the side I fear the most in the comp. This will be tough.

Totally agree with both your statements. I think this is the litmus test for the Brumbies - the Crusaders are formidable at home even when they are down on form. I think we have their measure provided the we play our "A"game. Regardless of the result will can take away a good marker in preparation for any hard away finals games.

Ah crap. Glad they're putting KR's health first, tho.

Good news is that McAwesome will be back even if off the bench. Strange they're looking at dropping Taylor, tho, I reckon our best inside back trio is Slade, Taylor, Crotty.

These forward packs are going to smash the living shit out of each other and I can't wait.

Go Brumbies!

The way the season had panned out it feels like every game is do or die. I'm just glad the Brums are starting to get some players back with eps blooded.

If the Brums win they will be title favourites, if the cru do they will stake their claim.

Should be a great game of afternoon footy.

Jeez the Brums are strong accross the park - and their confidence is running high.

This will be a "must win" for the boys to keep that momentum going - only waekness (IMHO) is Moggy. Has been suspect under real pressure and the Saders will give him plenty - but wow the rest of the team is special

why not start with Chuck at 15, to play solid in defence from minute 1.

Cos Moggy deserves his spot and is an absolute game changer.. McCabe can cover 11 to 15 from the bench

How many games has Mogg changed (in positive) this seasons so far, except from the match vs the Tahs
