    Hey I've alway said my dislike of the Crusaders is less about the players and coaches (aside from Deans TBF) and has always been the fans. 😝

    Meanwhile my dislike for the Canes is about the ownership, selectorial policy, coaches etc and less about the fans, although @Canes4life does an admirable impression of a Cantab style supporter.

    @canefan Why are you ganging up on me with the Cantabs? I thought we were bros.

    Sorry mate, I was just throwing a comment out there. We all know your second team is anyone other than the Saders

    If you're a kiwi and support an Ozzie team over a kiwi team, I have a present for you, traitorous dog

    I wasn't counting the aussie teams. They are beyond contempt, especially the Bumboys

    I don't get how one can hate another NZ team. Or another Super team for that matter.

    Yeah, I'm kinda neutral in Most NZ games - I really just want to see every team and its players playing well and providing lots of competition and options for the ABs. That said, I will generally support whoever is playing against the Crusaders just for the variety of seeing another team do well (and, interestingly, there is a negative correlation between our world cup wins and their success).

    @junior 2011 we were robbed…

    One of my favourite Crusaders matches was the semi final win that year against the Stormers in Cape Town. DC put on a masterclass.

    Supporting the Blues is painful enough. No need to drag a second team into this.

    Yes, and I was definitely pulling for your boys that year (and will always back them against non-NZ teams)

    All jokes aside, it's whoever is playing the Crusaders. And that includes the Waratahs.

    Probably if I listed my teams in order top is always the
    Canes
    Chiefs
    Highalnders
    Blues
    Crusaders
    then MP and Drua, but not really stuck on the order after Canes, and as can be seen always kiwi teams, even when I lived in Qld for 20 odd years and went to most Red's matches I would support Reds against other than kiwi teams, but with no passion.

    Atleast I don't throw my toys and jump ship when things don't go my way.

    @Nepia Don't lie you like the Crusaders as your second team aye 😉

    Second team from the SI, yeah.

    Although given the posts from Highlanders fans I might have to rethink my vote for them...

    i'll admit my dislike of the crusaders is largely jealous of their successes just up the road

    Best thing I ever did, I sometimes wish I'd thrown them earlier but then I remember that Fozzie was in charge of the Chiefs back then.

    I don't have a second team, but I support any NZ team playing any overseas team.
    But if 2 NZ teams play each other and It's not the Canes I'll just enjoy the game

    I'll add the caveat, in the case of 2 NZ teams playing I will enjoy game but chher for who will help the Canes on table , or another NZ team get further up ladder.
