Crusaders, Blues showdown offers bragging rights for future All Blacks coaches

Crusaders, Blues showdown offers bragging rights for future All Blacks coaches

Tonight’s Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific showdown between the Blues and Crusaders could be the last time Leon MacDonald and Scott Robertson face off as coaches.

The pair will link up at the All Blacks next year, with Robertson taking the reins, and MacDonald joining his backroom staff.

But so far their head-to-head battles have been one-sided, with the Blues only winning one of their past 17 fixtures.

That triumph came in April last year, only for the Crusaders to avenge the defeat in the all-important final of the competition.

The Crusaders face the Blues at 7.05 tonight.
