The Crusaders will kickoff the post Scott Robertson era with a couple of pre-season matches in Europe.

New coach Rob Penney’s first match in charge of the reigning Super Rugby champions will be against Irish club Munster on February 3rd, before meeting Bristol Bears on February 9th.

In a statement Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge says they are thrilled to be coming over to the UK to face some stiff competition away from home.

Munster participates in the United Rugby Championship while the Bristol Bears plays in the English Premiership Rugby championship.
