    The Crusaders have received a chilling hand from Hockey New Zealand as they look to overcome the heat and humidity of Suva

    The Crusaders have received a chilling hand from Hockey New Zealand as they look to overcome the heat and humidity of Suva


    The Rob Penney-coached side play the Drua tomorrow afternoon, a team they've never beaten in Fiji since their 2022 Super Rugby inclusion.

    The Crusaders are armed with several body temperature cooling mechanisms loaned by the Black Sticks, such as ice vests, yuyu bottles and slushy machines.

    Hockey New Zealand's Nick Webb says options are important.
