The Crusaders are saddened by the passing of Kaumātua Luke Crawford (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Porou and Ngāti Toa via his ancestor, Puhiwahine). His passion for tikanga Māori and contribution to rugby in Aotearoa will be deeply missed.

Youth Hub opened stage one of their new facility on Salisbury Street earlier in 2024. Last Friday, the Crusaders whānau got involved in a working bee helping with the final touches. Thanks for having us Youth Hub Christchurch ❤️🖤

We are very pleased to announce that I Am Hope Foundation NZ will appear on the front of our retail jerseys and on the front of the team's playing shorts for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season.   The work they do to create conversations and raise awareness around the mental wellbeing of our young people has enormous impact. They are and continue to be a voice for those most vulnerable – our tamariki.   It’s becoming increasingly evident young Kiwis struggle with distressing self-talk and overthinking, and this can leave them feeling isolated and alone. By showing them these thoughts are universal, organisations like I Am Hope can help to give our kids a better life. There is always someone to talk to and help available.
