The Crusaders prove too much for the Blues at a packed Eden Park, dominating from start to finish to claim a record-breaking 11th Super Rugby title.
The Crusaders have dominated the ladder-topping Blues to win the Super Rugby Pacific final 21-7 at a sold-out Eden Park in Auckland.
The Blues, roared on by a big home crowd, were simply unable to get on the front foot and unleash their talented backs until it was too late. On display were the steely defence, dominant set-piece, forwards who battle for every breakdown and backs who looked to attack at every opportunity that are in the DNA of the Christchurch-based dynasty.
