The Perfect Season

This was the moment when the Crusaders completed the impossible and won the 2002 Super Rugby title undefeated. An All Black-laden team were just too good for everyone and cruised through the roundrobin with 11 victories that included a record 96-19 hammering of fellow semi-finalist the Waratahs. They beat the Highlanders in the semi-final before crushing the Brumbies 31-13 in the final.
