All Blacks George Bridge and Joe Moody are expected to reinforce the Crusaders for Saturday night's blockbuster New Zealand derby against the Chiefs in Hamilton. 

Coach Scott Robertson was all smiles after collecting a bonus-point win against the Waratahs in Nelson at the weekend, and he ticked off an All Blacks rest week for the pair.

Now, he's preparing his troops for what shapes as the match of the young season, and the first of three consecutive matches against New Zealand teams.

He says it is going to be some affair against the Chiefs.

The Crusaders take on the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday.
