Cape Town – The Crusaders mistrust the threat that Lions might pose in Saturday's Super Rugby final in Christchurch.

Lions use maul The win in the 44-26 semifinal against the Johannesburg Waratahs last Saturday was very positive

The Lions knocked out a 14-0 deficit and used their maul as a launch pad for their resurgence.

Crusaders Matt Todd told the Stuff.co.nz site of New Zealand that his camp would be there to thwart the Lions of that department

"It's a real change for them, with tests but also to put them on the field when they were under the pump a little early in this game."

"When a team has great strength, as it does in this area, it takes time to put in. (The attacking coach) Jase Ryan will come up with a good plan for us there Todd added:

"These are awesome men who work well together. Do not give them opportunities – especially to our end.

Saturday's final will be a rematch of last year's final at Ellis Park, where the Crusaders won 25 to 17.

The Crusaders are looking for their ninth Super Rugby crown, while the Lions are looking for a maiden triumph.
