The Crusaders will host the Bulls tonight in a 'do or die' qualifier match to decide which team progresses to the Investec Super Rugby semi-finals. Tickets are still available and Coach Todd Blackadder is urging Cantabrians to get along and support their team.
"This is the first play-off match we've had in Christchurch since 2008, so it is an important occasion and it is going to be a special night.
"This is about more than just the footy. It's about Christchurch and Canterbury and all things red and black. It's our chance to show that our spirit is still strong after all that has happened to us.
"We would love to thank our supporters with a win tonight, and you can help make that happen just by being there," Blackadder said.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased through Ticket Direct (www.ticketdirect.co.nz, 0800 224 224) or The Warehouse.
BNZ is helping to build the atmosphere for tonight's game, by arranging for a giant (12mx12m) Crusaders jersey to be flown over Christchurch between 10am and 12pm today.
