Crusaders could be poised for brand changes as they await research results

Although the Crusaders and NZ Rugby are yet to receive a report from the independent research company they engaged to consult fans and stakeholders following the terror attacks on two mosques in Christchurch on March 15, it's understood the Super Rugby club is bracing itself to make major changes.

This could require the club to either change, or amend, its name.

A review of the club's title and imagery was approved soon after the shootings in the city, with Research First asked to provide feedback and recommendations.
