CRUSADERS MOMENT

The Crusaders were the big victims of the All Blacks’ reconditioning policy in 2007 and were effectively denied the chance to challenge for a hat-trick of titles as they didn't gain access to eight of their best players into early April. So when they had all their players available for all of the campaign in 2008, they stormed to the title – beating the Waratahs in the final.
