Melbourne Storm have been dipping into the knowledge of Super Rugby powerhouse the Crusaders as they prepare for their Anzac Day NRL clash with the Warriors. Super Rugby are hosting their version of the NRL's Magic Round at Melbourne's AAMI Park, with all five Kiwi teams in town. Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy said he met with Crusaders coach Scott Robertson this weekend, continuing their exchange of information. "We went over there yesterday and had a look at their meeting before their captain's run and had a coffee," Bellamy said on Sunday. "And they've come today to basically do the same. "They're such a great club and have been for such long time. "There's a couple of things when we've met up with them that we've taken on board." "We're expecting a tough tussle and they've played some real good footy this year," Bellamy said. "Their defence has improved and they've always had dangerous ball-carriers and that certainly hasn't changed. "Shaun Johnson is hugely experienced and Matt Lodge and (Addin) Fonua-Blake both do a great job - they're hard guys to handle and they've got a bit of skill about them as well." "Jesse was in bed for four or five days while Kenny wasn't affected at all," Bellamy said. "But they've both trained really good this week."
