Inside Canterbury & Crusaders rugby teams

Crusaders are the most successful team in the Super 15 competition, and are one of the primary contributors to the never-ending All Black conveyor belt. Canterbury province feeds into the Crusaders, and are the most successful team in their Mitre 10 Cup competition. Both teams ultimately provide an important step in the New Zealand rugby ladder. We went to Christchurch and spoke to the men behind the teams, including an Irish prop that's making a name for himself with the Kiwis.

3.02 LOL! I totally respect NZ rugby, they rule. But it gets a bit funny when they talk about in Brazil natural athletes might choose volleyball instead of rugby. Heard about football mate?

[@Tuhoeterra]

it was just a figure of speech mate.

Dusty Pink If you were half as clever as you think you are, you would understand what he was talking about. Rugby in NZ, as the national game, loses very few of the top athletes to other sports. Brazil's national sport is football - thanks for pointing that out Einstein - but they're also particularly good at Volleyball, another truly global sport that requires extremely talented athletes. You can add basketball to that too. Funnily enough, Gilbert Enoka, the mental skills coach for the AB's represented NZ in Volleyball. Once you've extracted your foot from your mouth, a simple thank you will suffice.

If the Crusaders ever change their name , They could always use the name "The Canterbury Cucks"

How many people are aware that the far left fascists want to change the Crusaders name?. I find it quite funny that they're rewarding terrorists that commit appalling cowardly crimes with exactly what the appalling cowardly terrorists want. The bastard wanted to create division every way he could it was all written in his manifesto that the corrupt socialist Government has censored so they can make up their own version of why he done it to fit their own narratives.
