    Crusaders coach Rob Penney's endorsed Super Rugby's new six-team play-off format which will be used for the first time this weekend


    The three winners of the qualifying finals will advance to a knock-out round next week, as well as the highest-ranked loser.

    The Crusaders will host a semi-final if they beat the Reds tomorrow in Christchurch.
