Reds keep an eye on Cruden

1:27 pm on 13 May 2012

The SBW show will attract Brisbane's biggest Super Rugby crowd of 2012 this evening but it's Chiefs five-eighth Aaron Cruden who the Queensland Reds will watch most closely.

While Sonny Bill Williams has enjoyed a successful transition from the Crusaders to the Waikato-based pacesetters, the defending champions will target rising All Black Cruden as the dangerman at Suncorp Stadium.

Reds halfback Will Genia admits Cruden is more influential than former NRL star Williams and in red-hot form after guiding the Chiefs to nine straight wins.

The game kicks off at 6:10.
