THE Canterbury Crusaders continued their season-long odyssey by overwhelming a spirited but ill-disciplined Sharks side 36-8 in Nelson yesterday to reach the Super 15 rugby semifinals for the 10th successive season.
The seven-time champions Crusaders, condemned to playing all their matches on the road this season after February's deadly earthquake in Christchurch, now face an 11,000-kilometer trip to Cape Town to face the Stormers. Their victory also sends the Auckland Blues, 26-13 winners over the New South Wales Waratahs in their first-round playoff on Friday, to Brisbane to meet the Queensland Reds in Saturday's other semifinal.
