Embarrassed Crusaders must make swift recovery for Super Rugby quarterfinalSKY SPORT The Hurricanes win the NZ Super Rugby conference with an emphatic bonus-point victory over the Crusaders in Christchurch. A home Super Rugby quarterfinal and the right to return to Christchurch so they could give coach Todd Blackadder and six players, among them the uber-loyal Andy Ellis, another chance to appear on familiar soil was a priority. So many questions were raised during the Crusaders' 35-10 loss to the Hurricanes, it's difficult to know where to start. The Hurricanes beat the Crusaders 35-10 and were crowned minor premiers for the second consecutive season.
