Blues halfback Finlay Christie's been declared fit for Good Friday's Super Rugby clash with the Crusaders in Christchurch

The All Black number nine was a late scratching with an undisclosed injury at the weekend prior to the 25-nil romping of the Chiefs.

Christie's availability is timely with back up Sam Nock set to be sidelined for up to three weeks with a broken bone in his hand.
