The most successful franchise in Super Rugby history, the Crusaders encompasses the six provincial unions located at the top half of New Zealand’s South Island. The six unions consist of Tasman, Canterbury, Mid-Canterbury, South Canterbury, Buller and West Coast. The Crusaders draw on these provinces ensure their success continues as the franchise who has won more titles than any other in the competition.
