All Blacks flyhalf Daniel Carter kicked four penalties and a dropped goal to guide the Crusaders to a 20-12 win over the Waratahss in Saturday’s Super 14 rugby final, claiming their seventh title in 13 years. The Crusaders were outscored two tries to one by the Waratahs but their otherwise spotless defensive performance and Carter’s 15 points ended coach Robbie Deans’ eight-year tenure with a valedictory championship.
