    Crusaders coach Rob Penney has praised referee James Dolman for nipping niggle in the bud during their 43-33 Super Rugby win over the Chiefs in Hamilton


    There was plenty of feeling in the 2025 grand final re-match...and Penney was pleased the teams were given the message to focus solely on their footy.



    The Blues coughed up a nine-point lead when Stephen Perofeta was sin-binned in the final ten minutes...to lose 30-27 to the Brumbies in Canberra.
