Rob Penney: Crusaders Coach ahead of the Super Rugby Pacific final against the Chiefs
The Crusaders’ current Super Rugby season is like chalk and cheese when compared to the las.
They missed the playoffs in 2024, with just four wins in 14 matches.
In contrast, this year sees them host the grand final against the Chiefs – clashing at the Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday.
Coach Rob Penney told Mike Hosking the Chiefs have beaten them twice this year, but neither team is the same team as they were on those occasions.
He says it’s going to be another tight match, and the team that holds its composure the longest, prepares the best, and plays the best will be the ultimate victors.
