Small Town Values Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (Super Rugby - News) Crusaders open to discuss name change following shooting: http://www.espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/id/26287315/crusaders-open-discuss-name-change-following-shooting Quote The Crusaders are open to discussing a potential name change following mass shooting at two mosques in Christchurch that killed 50 people. The Crusaders adopted their name 23 years ago when rugby went professional but questions have been raised over its associations with the medieval religious wars between Christians and Muslims since the attacks. The franchise, which has won a record nine Super Rugby titles, issued a statement on Saturday defending the name but chief executive Colin Mansbridge said on Sunday they were open to initiating discussions about a change, in time.

Small Town Values Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (Super Rugby - News) Sanzaar axes Sunwolves as competition reduced to 14 teams https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/111490393/super-rugby-sanzaar-axes-sunwolves-as-competition-reduced-to-14-teams Quote Sanzaar has declared it will cull the Sunwolves from its competition because it had been advised by the Japan Rugby Football Union earlier this month that it would no longer be in a position to financially underwrite the team's participation beyond 2020. The next commercial broadcast window will start in 2021, and Sanzaar's decision to remodel the tournament and kill off the unpopular conference system indicates it wants to go to the bargaining table with a product that holds greater appeals to fans, and commercial partners alike. While the Sunwolves can't claim to have been blindsided by Sanzaar's decision - their omission has been widely flagged in recent weeks - the club will be bitterly disappointed to receive the news six months before the World Cup tournament is staged in Japan. Sanzaar CEO Andy Marinos said the future of the Sunwolves, a team that comprises a large number of Kiwis and is coached by former All Black Tony Brown, will be determined by the JRFU.
