It’s Waisake Naholo versus Setareki Tamanivalu when the Highlanders take on the Crusaders in the Super Rugby quarterfinal this Saturday.

Both players have been in devastating form in their respective franchise as the Highlanders looks to avenge their loss to the Crusaders early this year.

The last time they met, Naholo scored two tries before Tamanivalu scored the winning try for the Crusaders which left the Highlanders heart‑broken.

Meanwhile Saturday's match marks the first time the teams have met in the playoffs in 15 years, but will be the fifth game (including two 'friendlies') between them since February.

The Highlanders have only won 11 of the 31 games between the Crusaders.

The Highlanders will take on the Cursaders at 7.35pm Saturday while the Brumbies will host the Hurricanes at 9.35pm tomorrow.

In other quarter finals, the Lions will take on the Sharks at 12.30am Sunday while the Chiefs will take on the Stormers at 3am Sunday.
