‘‘Under the roof it is a high tempo game, it is a width game,’’ Robertson said. ‘‘Your skill level and tempo is critical and they have been very successful over the years in running teams off their feet. We are aware of that.’’

Last season the Crusaders perfected the art of finishing off teams with a sucker punch in the final moments, something the Highlanders know plenty about. But that was missing against the Hurricanes, with errors compounding the visitors’ misery.

When the Crusaders held off the Lions to win the final 25-17 in Johannesburg last year, Robertson went to the bench at precisely the right time. Dunedin, unlike Jo’burg, might be at sea-level but he will still want to get this tactic bang-on.
