Our team

This photo was taken from television in the early hours of this morning. I watched the final live and was so enthralled with our tight 25-20 win that I watched a full replay later. Our team, the Crusaders, have just won Super Rugby Pacific for the 7th consecutive year. The new All Black coach, Scott Robertson, leaves with a perfect record, 7 years coaching for 7 wins. 14 wins in the 28 year history of zSuper Rugby. This year was special. We played the final away against the Chiefs in Hamilton as we were 2nd qualifiers. We suffered massive injury issues using 47 different players over the competition and 7 All Blacks missing the final. Scott does not take over the All Blacks until after this year's World Cup. So , for once, we are not ranked 1. Ireland are ranked 1 and France 2.
