Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett go head-to-head in the battle to succeed Dan Carter as All Blacks fly-half in Saturdays Super Rugby clash between the Chiefs and Hurricanes, live on Sky Sports 2 HD. Carters mastery in the No 10 jersey made him a three-time world player of the year and his departure from the international scene has created intense competition in New Zealand, with Cruden and Barrett the front-runners.The Chiefs have been the pacesetters in Super Rugby and with Cruden returning to his peak after missing last years World Cup through injury, the Waikato unit have won six out of seven matches. Barretts Hurricanes have also recovered from a woeful start to the season to win five consecutive games after losing the first two.Sandwiched between the two in the New Zealand conference are the Crusaders, who are in Canberra to play old Australian rivals the Brumbies.The Stormers and Lions, who lead the two African conferences, play the lowly Reds and Southern Kings respectively. Damian McKenzie has been in sparking form for the Chiefs The Chiefs head to Wellington refreshed after a bye and with Cruden commanding the competitions most potent backline, where he is developing a strong partnership with full-back Damian McKenzie.The pair mix their roles on the field in a way that has helped McKenzie become the tournaments top try-scorer and overall leading points-scorer. McCaw backs Schmidt for All Blacks Richie McCaw believes Ireland coach Joe Schmidt will have a future role with New Zealand Our game plan allows us to both get into first receiver and jump around a bit so I think its going well, said McKenzie, whose fly-half skills have also been rated highly by All Blacks coach Steve Hansen.With the departure of veteran All Blacks Maa Nonu and Conrad Smith at the end of last year, and a season-ending injury to Nehe Milner-Skudder, Barrett does not enjoy the same level of support as Cruden.But he has been able to keep the Hurricanes competitive as evidenced by his two tries and four conversions last week when he oversaw a 38-13 win against the Rebels.
