Slippery conditions expected at Eden Park as the rain falls from the heavens

Eden Park is the venue for this tantalizing encounter between these two New Zealand juggernauts. The Blues welcome arch rivals , Crusaders to their home ground in match that is a must win for both teams. The Crusaders have won 9 on their last 10 games and will be buoyed by a good win against the Waratahs last week. The Blues on the other hand will need to play out of their skins to get the win as this would enhance their chances of qualifying as one of the Australasian wild cards. The Crusaders will definitely not be in any mood to do anyone any favors , as a win for them would go a long way towards a conference title.Theses two side have met 28 times before with the men from Canterbury winning 17 times and the men from Auckland on the winning side 11 times.
