The Crusaders, who are coming off the bye, won their first game of the season when they beat the Chiefs 37-26 in Christchurch on March 29. The Crusaders had previously lost all five games.
The Waratahs’ only win of the season was in their second round clash with the Crusaders in Melbourne where they beat them 37-24.
Confidence is everything in life. The Crusaders, having finally snapped their five-game losing streak, gave themselves a decent dose of self-belief when they trounced the men from Hamilton a fortnight ago.
The Waratahs, meanwhile, have a 1-6 record and coach Darren Coleman has ditched Wallabies wing Mark Nawaqanitawase from his match-day 23.

The Waratahs host the Crusaders at 9.35 tonight.
In other games, Moana Pasifika play the Reds at 7.05 tonight, the Hurricanes meet the Chiefs at 7.35pm tomorrow, while the Rebels take on the Highlanders at 9.35pm tomorrow night
