The All Blacks captain Richie McCaw says the Crusaders have plenty of motivation to topple on the Sharks in Saturday night's Super Rugby semi-final in Christchurch.
The Sharks beat the Crusaders earlier this season in Christchurch, despite playing the majority of the match with only 14 men.
McCaw says that loss hurt but it it adds an extra steely determination to reverse that result.
The New South Wales Waratahs host the ACT Brumbies in the night's other semi-final.
