Crisis or Comeback? Rob Penney and Crusaders' 2025 Super Rugby Redemption

DSPN host Marty Devlin warmly welcomes Crusaders coach Rob Penney to discuss the team's preparations for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season. The Crusaders had one of their worst seasons in franchise history in 2024, failing to make finals, having won seven of the previous eight Super Rugby competitions they competed in. Rob reflects on the challenges faced this year, particularly the injury setbacks and the absence of key players. He talks about the thorough internal review conducted by the Crusaders organisation and the constructive outcomes from it. Rob emphasises the resilience and bounce-back spirit of the team, touching on historical comebacks as motivation. He acknowledges the external criticism but focuses on the internal support and the drive within the team.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
