    The Crusaders believe their appearance in tomorrow night's Super Rugby final against the Chiefs in Christchurch is made all the sweeter by their struggles last year

    The Crusaders believe their appearance in tomorrow night's Super Rugby final against the Chiefs in Christchurch is made all the sweeter by their struggles last year


    The red and blacks finished ninth last year with many tipping coach Rob Penney to be sacked after just one year in charge.

    We'll have live commentary of the Super Rugby final over on Gold Sport and iHeart Radio - our coverage begins at 6pm.
