Queensland Reds co-captain Liam Wright insists his team won’t be “star struck” by Crusaders five-eighth Richie Mo’unga in their Super Rugby Pacific showdown in Christchurch.

Mo’unga missed last week’s 28-15 win over the Reds due to a finger injury, but both he and All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor will be back for Friday night’s quarter-final.

The Reds will receive a boost of their own with the return of Wallabies centre Hunter Paisami from a shoulder injury. The Reds will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm Friday, the Chiefs will face the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, defending champions Blues will battle it out with the Highlanders at 7.05pm Saturday and the Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 9.45pm Saturday.
