Both teams have booked a place in the Super Rugby playoffs, but tonight could go a long way to determining where they finish in the table.
Some key All Blacks will be absent with no Ben Smith or Richie McCaw in action, but a fiery southern derby is expected nevertheless.

Pre-match banter:
Head to Head: Played 25; Crusaders 17, Highlanders 7, drawn 1
In Christchurch: Played 13; Crusaders 10, Highlanders 3
Last Played: Round 15, 2014 - Crusaders 32-30, Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin
Victory - or possibly even a bonus-point defeat - will clinch the Crusaders second spot and a home semi-final. The Highlanders need to score a bonus-point win to have any hope of stealing second place and earning next weekend off before hosting a sudden-death playoff. Both teams are without key players, with All Blacks fullback Ben Smith still laid low by an infected leg which had him on a drip in a Sydney hospital for three days after Sunday's loss to the Waratahs. The Crusaders will also be without their skipper, with Richie McCaw given another week to recover from a rib injury suffered in last month's Test series against England.
