The Crusaders’ remarkable year on the road continues, this time taking them on a trip from Nelson to Cape Town.
All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw is confident he's over his foot injury and will join the squad for some playoff action.
The Crusaders secured their 10th consecutive Super Rugby semi-final appearance with their second win this year against the Sharks, last night.
