Rob Penney's capped off his zero-to-hero transformation with the Super Rugby title winning Crusaders mentor named coach of the year. 

True to form, Penney deflected the spotlight, crediting the Board, Management, fellow coaches, and senior players for the team’s and ultimately his success. Still, he’s deeply proud of the turnaround from 2024 and excited for what’s ahead in 2026. 

He joined Lesley Murdoch for a chat about his time as coach and the milestone the Crusaders are chasing.
