“It’s still that game against the Brumbies, our first Trans-Tasman game [on May 15], which we’re pitching for him.” The Crusaders can book a spot in the May 8 final by beating the resurgent Chiefs, but will have to do it without a raft of first-choice players, including rested lock Sam Whitelock, as they mark halfback Mitch Drummond’s 100th game for the franchise. Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images Crusaders centre Braydon Ennor hurt his knee playing for South against North in Wellington last September. No 8 Cullen Grace has also been rested, while hooker Codie Taylor will come off the bench after playing all 82 minutes of last week’s golden point thriller against the Hurricanes in Wellington.
