Crusaders midfielder Braydon Ennor, who missed the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season due to injury, reflected on the team's disappointing campaign.

Despite seven years of championship success, the Crusaders missed the playoffs, finishing ninth.

Ennor cited the loss of key players Sam Whitelock and Richie Mo’unga, along with several injuries, as significant challenges.

The team struggled under new coach Scott Robertson, starting the season with a five-match losing streak.

Although they managed a few victories, the Crusaders couldn't secure a playoff spot.

Ennor emphasized the need to rebuild team cohesion and deliver consistent performances.

With new recruits like former Wallaby James O’Connor, the Crusaders aim to bounce back in the upcoming season.
