Death, taxes and the Crusaders winning Super Rugby titles.

The inevitable unfolded on Saturday night when coach Scott Robertson's Crusaders clinched their fifth straight crown and the 12th in total for the all-conquering Christchurch based franchise.

After beating the Chiefs 24-13 coach Scott Robertson said his team were "intensely disliked" by many in the rugby fraternity because of their success, but he hopes they're also respected.

Former All Blacks captain Reuben Thorne, who was part of multiple Crusaders titles, and Dick Tayler, a long time president of the Canterbury Rugby Supporters club, spoke to Corin Dann.
