    Scott Barrett is toasting a farewell to the Crusaders' so-called temporary stadium

    Scott Barrett is toasting a farewell to the Crusaders' so-called temporary stadium


    Last night's final may have been their last match at Apollo Projects Stadium, erected after the February 2011 earthquake.

    The new central city Te Kaha Stadium is set for completion next April - but there has been speculation it's ahead of schedule, or that the Crusaders may play out of town until they can get into the new venue.

    All Blacks captain Scott Barrett says he felt more emotional than he expected after what was certainly their last final victory at the ground.
