The Brumbies of old.

That’s what Crusaders Coach Scott Robertson thought when he got a look at them doing a number on the Chiefs in Hamilton last Saturday.

Four points behind the second-placed Brumbies heading into their week 13 clash, the Crusaders will have to knock the form Aussies over to avoid drifting off the pace before returning home for their final two regular season matches, against the Drua and Reds.

The good news for the Crusaders is they'll welcome captain Scott Barrett back from suspension for the match against the 2001 and 2004 champions.

The Crusaders meet the Brumbies at 9.45pm Friday.

Meanwhile, the Fijian Drua will meet the Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm Saturday.
