A tribute to the Crusaders now former home from CEO Colin Mansbridge in the wake of the Super Rugby team's final match there. 

Apollo Projects Stadium housed the team for 14 years and saw them take home multiple Super Rugby titles. 

It has been farewelled with a 69-26 thumping of the Fijian Drua – hooker Codie Taylor scoring four tries in what was his 150th game for the franchise. 

Mansbridge told Piney it’s always going to be a place that every time he walks past, no matter what shape or form it takes in the future, it’ll be a place that grabs the heart.  

“I think it’ll always be like our folks’ home – you know, it’ll always be that thing that you hope they don’t sell.”
