Only at home. The Crusaders won their 2017 Rd 12 match in Christchurch last year when they blitzed B.Barrett, IIRC.rowan wrote:Apparently that's their fifth straight win over the defending champs & 8-time Super Rugby title-holders
Thanks for the clarification. I'd been wondering about that, since I was pretty sure the Saders only lost once last year - to the Canes away.zer0 wrote:Only at home.

16 & 23 July 2016. The Cru lost their final pool game to the eventual champions, the Hurricanes and then stumbled in the first round of play-offs after flying to Jo'burg to face the other eventual finalists, the Lions.rowan wrote:Back-to-back losses for the Saders. When was the last time that happened . . . ?

Sunwolves thrashed by the Chiefs. Still the number 1 reason this competition has lost some of its credibility and allure.
