A freezing, sodden day in Christchurch didn’t put the people of the Garden City off from turning out in their thousands to salute their Super Rugby champion Crusaders today.
The Crusaders’ break-dancing coach Scott Robertson credited the thousands of adoring fans for helping the team win their ninth title in the 22-year history of Super Rugby.

"It's really special to have people come out on a beautiful day like this," he said sarcastically to crowd on the banks of the Avon between Cashel and Hereford Streets.
Robertson, who goes by the nickname Razor and has become a cult figure for his antics, joked that he was very shy.
“Absolutely made it up on the spot, never practised, very shy sort of chap,” he said of his break-dancing.
Those who made up the crowd were on lunch breaks and many were surprised so many people had turned out.
“Unreal, honestly I’m surprised so many people did (turn out) battling the cold, probably going to have the sniffles later on tonight but really good from everyone here, up the Crusaders because Cantabrians are the best fans in the world,” one fan said.
