Crusaders will look to maintain their 100 percent record in the Super 14 when they travel to Wellington on Friday to take on fellow New Zealanders the Hurricanes.

The Canterbury side have won six from six this season while the Hurricanes are four from five and looking to boost their chances of a play-off spot as the 2008 Super 14 reaches the halfway stage.

The Crusaders top the standings from the second-placed Sharks, who have won five from five, while the Hurricanes are back in fifth spot.

The battle between the Crusaders captain Richie McCaw and his fellow All Black Chris Masoe (pictured) of the Hurricanes should be one of the most keenly fought at the Westpac Stadium.
