ALL Black training squad members Daryl Gibson and Norm Maxwell have lost a race against time to be fit for Friday’s Super 12 rugby showdown between the Canterbury Crusaders and the Otago Highlanders. Crusaders coach Wayne Smith conceded on Tuesday that midfielder Gibson and lock Maxwell will miss the South Island derby in Dunedin. “We’re hoping they’ll be available next week [against the Western Stormers in South Africa], but we’ll make a decision on that on Saturday or Sunday,” Smith said. “No one wants them back more than me. But it’s just the reality of the competition.” Gibson injured medial ligaments in his knee against the Queensland Reds and missed last Friday’s vital away win over the ACT Brumbies.
