    Family ties and former loyalties will be set aside for 80 minutes tonight when the Blues host the Crusaders for the Super Rugby Pacific title at Eden Park

    Family ties and former loyalties will be set aside for 80 minutes tonight when the Blues host the Crusaders for the Super Rugby Pacific title at Eden Park


    Two sets of brothers will collide with Scott and Beauden Barrett as well as Jack and Josh Goodhue.

    The Crusaders captain's avoided the temptation of exchanging a pre-game verbal barb.



    Blues coach Leon MacDonald won seven titles as a player at the Crusaders - four of which with Scott Robertson.

    The first title back in 1998 when a remarkable bounce of the ball from a chip and chase set up James Kerr for the Crusaders match winner at Eden Park against the Blues.

    MacDonald's anticipating tonight's contest to produce similar sporting theatre.



    Live commentary on Gold AM and iHeartRadio - kick off at five past seven.
