Crusaders Assistant Coach Ronan O’Gara believes Richie Mo'unga can once again match, if not outplay, his All Blacks rival Beauden Barrett in this weekend’s Super Rugby semifinal.

O’Gara says Richie has been on top of his game for a long time but Barrett has the advantage of being a superstar at test level.

The Hurricanes face a massive task of defeating the Crusaders in Christchurch, where the nine‑times champions have never lost a playoff and are unbeaten at Rugby League Park in 29 matches.

The Brumbies will take on the Jaguares at 11.05am Saturday while the Crusaders will face the Hurricanes at 7.35pm Saturday.
