    The Crusaders are staying coy on who will get first crack in the 10 jumper for the start of their Super Rugby title defence

    The Crusaders are staying coy on who will get first crack in the 10 jumper for the start of their Super Rugby title defence


    Rivez Reihana steered the side to silverware at the back end of the season, after Taha Kemara suffered an ACL knee injury in May.

    Kemara has raced through rehabilitation to be fit and available nine months post surgery.

    He's described the positional duel as a genuine battle.



    The Crusaders visit the Blues in Auckland in their final preseason hit-out from 3pm.
