Scoop Images: Cap'n Blackadder's Triple Crown
The Canterbury Crusaders won their third consecutive Super 12 Final last night beating the ACT Brumbies 20-19 in Canberra. Sean Hay recorded the action for Scoop in Wellington.
Happy Crusaders
A well deserved drink for Cap'n
Blackadder.
Phew! - Andrew Mehrtens
Super-sub Brumbie powers to the
Crusaders line.
Brumbie kicker Stirling
Mortlock kicked a few, but not enough.
George Gregan didn't manage to
stop Crusader No.8 Ron Cribb.
Damn! - Gregan
Some Wellington fans find the
late night excitement a little too
much.
