Some commentaries on social media are saying the Crusaders name, in the wake of what happened on Friday, was now problematic. "This is bigger than rugby and we're absolutely heartbroken for our wider community, which is where our thoughts are." "There is the need for this community to wrap our support around those who are most affected by Friday's events, and that is the immediate focus for the Crusaders' team."
