:The Canterbury Crusaders thumped Fijian Drua 49-8 in Christchurch on Saturday to set up a semi-final showdown against the Auckland Blues but the Super Rugby Pacific champions were left counting the cost of a huge injury toll.

The Chiefs will return to Waikato Stadium next week to play the winners of the ACT Brumbies and the Wellington Hurricanes, who clash in the last quarter-final in Canberra on Saturday.
