Crusaders Coach Scott Robertson has no doubt his team's latest Super Rugby title win won't have gone down well with most people outside the team's region.

They beat the Chiefs 24-13 in Christchurch last night to bag a fifth straight title since he took over as head coach in 2017.

Roberston says he knows they are disliked immensely but he is proud to coach a team that stays hungry for so long.

And, as is his custom after Super Rugby victories, Robertson who is the ultimate players’ coach and one of the “boys”, did his usual break-dancing moves.

Meanwhile, the Reds claimed the Super Rugby AU title after an 84th James O'Connor try, securing the 19-16 win over the Brumbies at Suncorp Stadium.
