You’ve got to have that perfect mix of game smarts, management and physicality.

These were the words of Auckland Blues coach, Leon MacDonald who believes there’s less pressure on his men this year as they get ready for tonight’s semi-final clash with the defending Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific champions the Crusaders.

MacDonald says they don’t want to be over-excited and think they are going to thump their way through.

He further says they have talked about kicking tactically smart but also having the confidence to challenge their D-line with ball in hand.

The head coach says they have got to have the perfect game to go down there and win.

He adds they want to play well to their potential and If they do that he thinks they can create a little bit of history.

The Crusaders host the Blues at Orangetheory Stadium, Christchurch at 7.05 tonight, while the Chiefs will play the Brumbies at 7.05 tomorrow.
