Poll: Should the Crusaders rebrand in the wake of Christchurch's deadly terror attack?
The Christchurch-based Super Rugby franchise confirmed on Wednesday the name and imagery from next season was being reviewed, with New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew saying the link to knights on horseback was "no longer tenable".
Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge said seeking the views of those directly affected by the shootings at two mosques on March 15 was not fair while the tragedy was still raw. Fifty worshippers were killed and dozens more injured when a gunman opened fire during afternoon prayers.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
