Crusaders team to play the Waratahs in the Investec Super Rugby Final
Crusaders Head Coach Todd Blackadder has named an unchanged side to take on the Waratahs on Saturday night.
The Crusaders and Waratahs will meet for the first time this season in this final clash of the 2014 Investec Super Rugby competition. Blackadder said the fact that the two teams haven’t played each other yet this season just adds to the excitement of the occasion.
“There Is an unknown element given that we haven’t played the Waratahs so far this year, but that goes for both teams. We are just focussed on being as prepared as we can be to put in the best performance we’re capable of,” Blackadder said.
“We know we have the game of our lives ahead of us but are not daunted by the challenge, we are looking forward to it. We’ve got a group of men who want this badly and who have the talent to do it.”
The final will be played at ANZ Stadium in Sydney’s Olympic Park and kick-off is at 9:40pm NZ time on Saturday night.
