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

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.

Missing CAT - Northcote | Leander Street - Missing since Nov 10th

Dowana from Northcote

SID is still missing! Please check your sheds and around your property! Thank you 🙂 Sid has been missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote.
He snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.

We are desperate to get him home, his bonded kitty companion (Dizzy) has been found and is missing him terribly. Please keep a look out! Thank You! - If spotted please message me here.
