Brad Mooar: Crusaders Assistant on Blues Rivalry, 2024 Hardships, & Team Identity | Super Rugby 2025

DSPN host Martin Devlin is joined by Crusaders assistant coach Brad Mooar, ahead of his side's Super Rugby Pacific clash at home to the Blues on Good Friday. The Crusaders are top of the table with six wins from eight, and face a team they beat 42-19 just four weeks ago. Brad talks to Marty about their preparation for Friday, expectations due to their successful season so far, lessons learnt from a tough 2024 and finding their identity. Is there a chip on the team's shoulder after such a poor campaign last year? Are they determined to prove doubters wrong even more so? Brad talks all about that. The two also dive into the Auckland-Canterbury sporting rivalry which spawned in the old-school NPC days.   Website: rova.nz/podcasts/dspn-devlin-sports-podcast-network Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
