Rob Penney: Crusaders Coach on the final game at Apollo Projects Stadium

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

An end of an era for the Crusaders as they say farewell tonight in their final Super Rugby game at Apollo Projects Stadium.  The venue was constructed as a temporary solution after Lancaster Park was destroyed in the 2011 earthquakes, housing the Cantabrian side and their fans for 14 seasons.  Coach Rob Penney hopes they can give it the send off it deserves before they make the move across town to the new One New Zealand Stadium.  He told Mike Hosking emotionally, Apollo Projects means a lot to the community, but the facility has well outgrown its usefulness.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
