The Crusaders became the side with the largest gap between titles when they won last year. That distinctio­n, if it could be called that, was previously held by the Blues who won in 2003, six years after they had claimed the championsh­ip in 1997. The Crusaders had last won the title in 2008, so they broke their nine-year drought when they won in Johannesbu­rg.
