Rob Penney: Crusaders Coach talks his decision to stay coach for the 2026 season
After tasting his first Super Rugby Pacific success this year, Crusaders Coach Rob Penney has made the decision to stick around for another year.
After a tumultuous and underwhelming campaign in his first season in 2024, the Crusaders bounced back to claim their 13th full title, defeating the Chiefs 16-12 in last month’s final.
He joined Jason Pine to discuss his decision to stay with the team.
“I always said, you know, if I wasn’t wanted, I would never stay, but you know, that wasn’t the case, so, rapt to be doing it again.”
