    Confidence from the Crusaders coach, heading into tonight's must-win home game against the Melbourne Rebels in Christchurch

    Confidence from the Crusaders coach, heading into tonight's must-win home game against the Melbourne Rebels in Christchurch


    Rob Penney says their approach is the right one but his side just need to be braver - and play with more freedom.

    The Super Rugby Pacific champions are dead last and have just one win from eight matches.

    Kickoff is at 5 past 7.



    It's not looking good for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA playoffs.

    They've lost their third straight game in the first round, going down 112 to 105 to the visiting Denver Nuggets.

    The Lakers will have to make history to progress - no side have ever come back from an oh-3 deficit in a seven-game post-season.
