Chiefs Coach Warren Gatland says it is great to have the likes of Sam Cane, Mitchell Brown and Mitchell Karpik returning from injury.

Gatland says the Crusaders are a sharp team and can quickly punish teams for their mistakes.

He says they need to be alert when they are defending and sharp on attack to allow them to capitalise on any opportunities presented to them.

In Round 3 of Super Rugby Aotearoa, the Blues will meet the Highlanders at 7.05 tonight while the Crusaders will face the Chiefs at 3.35pm tomorrow.
