Crusaders Crusaders make a statement with shutout win over Melbourne Rebels
The Melbourne Rebels have been handed a massive Super Rugby Pacific reality check, kept scoreless and brutalised by the Crusaders.
Put simply, spending a few hours at Pennyhill Park on a cold and blustery Wednesday - in between rounds one and two of the Six Nations, and intermittent showers of cats, dogs, monkeys, devils, and pitchforks - is to watch the best team in the world work through one of their toughest training days.
