21 - Ethan Blackadder (Crusaders) made 21 carries in 2025 #SRPGrandFinal - the most of any player in any Super Rugby GF since Opta began collecting this data in 2011; he also made 16 tackles, becoming the 2nd player to log 15+ in each category (2018 - K Read). Immense.
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.

Rugby is a simple game. 30 men chase a ball for 80 minutes and at the end, the Crusaders always win. #SRPGrandFinal #CRUvCHI
