A dislocated shoulder is set to deny Crusaders openside flanker Tom Christie the chance to play the Blues in Auckland on Sunday afternoon.

The Crusaders have confirmed Christie will have to undergo “further investigation and specialist review’’ over the next few days to determine the appropriate management of the injury.

The fixture between the Crusaders and Blues will be the most anticipated fixture this season; both teams are unbeaten after 3 rounds, with the Blues dispatching the Highlanders 39-17 at Eden Park last Sunday.

The Blues will face the Crusaders at 2.35pm Sunday while the Hurricanes face the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday.
