Has Aaron Cruden put the All Blacks No.10 jersey debate to bed? The Chiefs playmaker was in impressive form against the Brumbies and Duncan Garner and Jim Kayes are confident he's locked up the black jersey.
Cruden and the table-topping Chiefs now have the Blues in his sights.
Duncan lives by the statement that there are no easy games against New Zealand opposition, however Jim was quick to predict a rout for the Chiefs.
A loss on Friday could leave the Blues well behind the rest of the New Zealand pack, who all have games where they are favourites.

The Crusaders managed to get out of South Africa with two wins, while Ryan Crotty put on an impressive showing.
A week after Charlie Ngatai put his hat in the ring for the All Blacks midfield, Crotty's road trip form was a timely reminder that he's up to the task of filling the void left by Conrad Smith.
