After tasting his first Super Rugby Pacific success this year, Crusaders Coach Rob Penney has made the decision to stick around for another year.
After a tumultuous and underwhelming campaign in his first season in 2024, the Crusaders bounced back to claim their 13th full title, defeating the Chiefs 16-12 in last month’s final.
He joined Jason Pine to discuss his decision to stay with the team.
“I always said, you know, if I wasn’t wanted, I would never stay, but you know, that wasn’t the case, so, rapt to be doing it again.”
