Waratahs vs. Crusaders: Winners and Losers from Super Rugby Final

It was every bit the classic that Super Rugby fans could have hoped for on Saturday as the Waratahs claimed their maiden championship with a 33-32 victory over seven-time winners the Crusaders.


A last-gasp Bernard Foley penalty gave the New South Wales hosts their one-point triumph, capitalising on their minor championship win with a trophy of much greater significance.


In a back-and-forth encounter, the New Zealand visitors gave a fine account of their ability, but they were ultimately beaten by a Waratahs side that held a 14-0 lead early on, and eventually made it count.


We break down some of the biggest winners and losers from the epic encounter, in both an individual and team-based capacity.
