As we write the next chapter in Canterbury Rugby history, join us in honouring the home that rose from the rubble, Apollo Projects Stadium.

Episode 1 of our docuseries takes you back to the heart of Canterbury Rugby, to Apollo Projects Stadium — a place that stood as a beacon of hope and community after the earthquakes. It’s where our players and fans came together, shared unforgettable moments, and felt the spirit of the region in every try, tackle, and cheer.
As we honour these memories, we’re also looking ahead to next season at One NZ Stadium , ready to write the next chapter in Canterbury Rugby history.

A huge thank you goes out to both Lesley Murdoch ONZM MBE, Sport and Media Personality, and Hamish Riach, Canterbury and Crusaders CEO 2001 - 2018 for their generosity in sharing their personal accounts of a truly challenging time for Canterbury, and our sport.
