Poll: Should the Crusaders rebrand in the wake of Christchurch's deadly terror attack?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.
