    A milestone in Crusaders rugby today

    A milestone in Crusaders rugby today


    It's 20 years since the Crusaders became the only team to ever win every game of a Super Rugby season, as they went unbeaten in the 2002 campaign.

    Robbie Deans was at the helm with Colin Cooper his assistant.

    He says although they won all 13 matches, it wasn't an easy season.
