Crusader chief executive Colin Mansbridge has offered a defence after their coach was scrutinised after their ten-loss Super Rugby season.
Coach Rob Penney is in hot water after getting caught referring to a journalist in a derogatory manner after facing questions over his future in the role.
Penney's apologised to Mansbridge - who in turn apologised to the reporter.
Mansbridge says Penney's apology for his actions was satisfactory.
"I'm not sure what Rob could say now - he's got a job and he's preparing athletes for a game, another one of those exciting clashes on Saturday."
