you know what id like to see Leinster vs Crusaders in a match. They shou dhave the 2 top provincial sides who win Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere finals. Top 4 , like a mini rugby champions league after the tournaments are over.
The reason the Crusaders players consistently perform better here than internationally is because their coach gives his players the freedom and confidence to play what they see in front of them. This is why Foster has not been able to get the best out of the All Blacks players in big matches for the last 2 seasons.
Wow are you saying the Aussie teams are the hardest in the Southern Hemisphere LOL!. Crusaders performed much better (bet Blues each time) in the last 2 SR Aoteroa comp. Crusaders also didnt lose a game in this years Trans Tasman, Blues just lucky on there being a small points Diff that Crusaders didnt make the final.
