The Crusaders will be aiming for their fifth straight Super Rugby title against the Chiefs who have rebounded from an 11-match losing streak to make an unlikely final.

On paper, the Chiefs appear to have it all against them as they have lost their captain to injury this season, have an interim coach at the helm and are playing away from home at the Crusaders seemingly impenetrable fortress, the Orangetheory Stadium.

However, Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan says that he has seen plenty of upsets in the past and people might see one tonight.

The Crusaders have played six Grand Finals at home and have never lost any.

The Crusaders will meet the Chiefs in the Super Rugby Aotearoa final at 7.05 tonight.
