What's on it? How much time have you got to dwell on the Blues' final match tonight against their regular Chiefs rivals.

A performance to celebrate - and there was plenty of toasting in the changing rooms afterwards, but the Crusaders have quickly put their stunning victory over the Chiefs in its place.
