Notes
Quotes from Director of Rugby, Jake White.

“The Crusaders are a phenomenal team, we’re under no illusions of how good they are and what they’ve achieved, but we have to prepare as best we can to give ourselves a chance.

“They have players in their team who won the Rugby World Cup a few years ago, they have guys who are consistently in play-off games, the team hasn’t missed out on play-off rugby in a long time, and all these guys have been part and parcel of play-off games, so I have no doubt that with the team they have available and the experience they have, they’ll be a massive force.”
