Back on the right track with their 52-15 win over the Highlanders, the Crusaders felt the benefit of how tough it is attempting to win another DHL Super Rugby Pacific title. Looking to next week's game in Fiji, he said several of the team had played there before. "It's only round two, we're not going to get disheartened, we still want to keep growing and keep getting better. Coach Clarke Dermody said the Crusaders were a smart team, and their defensive pictures were changing all the time. We just weren't accurate tonight around our set-piece, the lineout and, giving up ball on attack in the right areas of the pitch, you see how dangerous the Crusaders are."
