The Blues will have to find a way to shut out the Crusaders’ back three if they are to win the Super Rugby Pacific title at Eden Park tomorrow night.

The Crusaders have once again named Sevu Reece, Will Jordan and Leicester Fainga’anuku in the back three who have scored a total of 29 tries so far this season.

Fainga’anuku and Jordan are the leading try scorers with 10 tries each while Reece has scored 9 times. However the Blues did beat the Crusaders 27-23 in Christchurch earlier this year in what was the only meeting between the two sides.

The final will kick off at 7.05pm tomorrow.
