The Crusaders remain the Super 14 champs

The Canterbury Crusaders have defeated the Wellington Hurricanes 19-12 in the Super 14 final in Christchurch. The match was a visual debacle as thick fog shrouded the arena for the entire match, making it almost impossible for many in the crowd and for the commentators to see what was going on. The Crusaders made the best of the conditions, leading 6-3 at half time before scoring a converted try in the second half to wrap up the match. It is the Crusaders' sixth title in Super 12 and Super 14 competitions.
