    The Crusaders feel last season's pain has been this season's gain


    And for seasons to come.

    The perennial Super Rugby contenders have shrugged off the agony of missing the finals in 2024 ... to now be hosting this year's final.

    Crusaders captain David Havili told Weekend Sport last year's suffering was worth it.



    Tonight's second semi kicks off at 5 past 7 in Hamilton, the Chiefs hosting the ACT Brumbies to see who'll head south to tackle the Crusaders next Saturday - live commentary on GOLD SPORT and iHeartRadio.
