    A reminder to sharpen tackle techniques for Crusaders defence coach Matt Todd, heading into Saturday's Super Rugby decider against the Chiefs

    A reminder to sharpen tackle techniques for Crusaders defence coach Matt Todd, heading into Saturday's Super Rugby decider against the Chiefs


    Four players were yellow-carded across the semi-finals for going high - three were head-on-head collisions.



    The Crusaders are monitoring the fitness of Chay Fihaki after one of those incidents - he's going through HIA protocols.



    Meanwhile, some of the 17 thousand tickets to the fixture in Christchurch are already appearing on auction sites at scalped prices.

    The venue sold out within minutes of going on sale at 9am.

    Crusaders boss Colin Mansbridge says the best could be yet to come at the franchise, once their new stadium opens next season.
