#SuperRugbyPacific #Final #CRUvCHI
Great win last night! The Crusaders are the Super Rugby champions, once again. For the last time at Rugby League Park, which has served the Crusaders well after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake severely damaged Lancaster Park.
Here are the highlights of the Grand Final.

4 - The Crusaders' four-point victory (16-12) against the Chiefs tonight is the second smallest winning margin in any of their 14 Grand Final victories in Super Rugby history (def. ACT Brumbies 20-19 in 2000). Sweeter.
#SuperRugbyPacific #CRUvCHI #SRPGrandFinal
Very pragmatic 2nd half by Crusaders, bossed the air and set piece, gave them territory and pressurised Chiefs exit continously. Nothing fancy, just good knock out rugby. #CRUvCHI
Rivez Reihana has been named Man of the Match!
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
Also, James O’Connor. Super Rugby winner. #SRPGrandFinal #CRUvCHI
Rugby is a simple game. 30 men chase a ball for 80 minutes and at the end, the Crusaders always win. #SRPGrandFinal #CRUvCHI
How can Gardiner award a try if he didn’t see a grounding? #CRUvCHI
Endstand #CRUvCHI 16:12 – Chiefs scheitern zum 3ten Mal im Folge im Finale. Crusaders halten dank 2ter Hälfte Führung. Zwischen 60ter und 70ter Minute 90+% Ballbesitz und Territorium.
Am Ende fehlte es Chiefs an Durchschlagskraft.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆+🏆🏆
The Crusaders are the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific Champions!!

I haven't got a dog in this fight but I really don't want Canterbury to win again 😒

I think I've said to myself "here comes the winning score" a dozen times since halftime but nobody can land it yet. Great final, mind.

71' | Sub: Dallas McLeod comes on for Braydon Ennor.

The Crusaders clearly are the better team at the moment, but it's not leading to any points.
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
67' | Try to the Crusaders? Did David Havili score? TMO .. Nope, Noah Hotham got the ball illegally. 😐
Crusaders 13 - 12 Chiefs
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
#CRUvCHI Crusaders mit 25-Phasen-Spiel bis ins Malfeld rein, aber Ball wird hochgehalten. Die letzten Meter drücken sie sich zu Dritt gegen CHI meterweise vorwärts.
Beide Offenses betreiben in gegnerischen 22m sehr enges Spiel, suchen nur selten eine schnelle Verlagerung auf die andere Seite.
64' | Subs: George Bell and Jamie Hannah replace Codie Taylor and Antonio Shalfoon.
Crusaders 13 - 12 Chiefs
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
63' | Ah, the Crusaders so close to scoring, but the ref says "held-up". The Crusaders deserved more from that effort.
Crusaders 13 - 12 Chiefs
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
#SuperRugbyPacific #CRUvCHI wow this game is one of the best of this season
Ausgangs 3tes Quarter #CRUvCHI weiter 13:12. Intensität zieht weiter an. Viele Fehler. Spiel bleibt aber ausgeglichen. Per Stats: 50:50 Ballbesitz, 50:50 Territorium.
Frische 1te Reihe der Chiefs brachte kein Momentum. 10-McKenzie versiebte 45m-Straftritt.
56' | Subs: George Bower and Cullen Grace replace Tamaiti Williams and Tom Christie.
Crusaders 13 - 12 Chiefs
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
55' | Damian McKenzie misses a penalty kick at goal.
Crusaders 13 - 12 Chiefs
#CRUvCHI #Final #SuperRugbyPacific
#CRUvCHI, 50te, weiter 13:12 – Die Chiefs wechseln ihre komplette erste Reihe. Prompt gewinnen die Chiefs das darauffolgende erste Scrum.
We're back for the 2nd half. It's so close that it can still go either way.
Go Saders, you can do it!!
