Crusaders (rugby union) The Crusaders (formerly the Canterbury Crusaders and officially called the BNZ Crusaders due to a sponsorship deal with the Bank of New Zealand) are a New Zealand professional rugby union team based in Christchurch that competes in the Super Rugby competition. They are the most successful team in Super Rugby history with eight titles (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2017). The franchise represents the Buller, Canterbury, Mid-Canterbury, South Canterbury, Tasman and West Coast provincial Rugby Unions. The Crusaders are the worldâ€™s most successful non-international professional rugby team. Their main home ground is AMI Stadium,[n 1] formerly known as Jade Stadium and before that, Lancaster Park.
Ospreys (rugby union) The Ospreys (Welsh: Y Gweilch), formerly the Neath-Swansea Ospreys[1] is one of the four professional rugby union teams from Wales. They compete in the Pro14 and the European Rugby Champions Cup. The team formed as a result of Neath RFC and Swansea RFC combining to create a new merged entity, as part of the new regional structure of Welsh rugby, that began in 2003. They are also affiliated with a number of local semi-professional and amateur clubs, including Welsh Premier Division sides Aberavon RFC, Bridgend Ravens, and original founding clubs Neath and Swansea. The regional area represented by the team has widely become known for rugby purposes as 'Ospreylia'.[2]
