Good omen for the Crusaders

July 26, 2018 4:30 pm

The Crusaders have history and form on their side when they host the Hurricanes in Christchurch tomorrow night in the Super Rugby semifinals.

If they can get past the only other New Zealand team still in contention, just one more win will separate the defending champions from a staggering ninth championship.

The omens are good – the Crusaders have won 11 of their 16 semifinals appearances, never lost a finals encounter in Christchurch, and beaten the Hurricanes all four times the two teams have met in the play-offs.
