The day Carlos Spencer flipped the bird at the Crusaders fans

It’s been a long time since the rugby world was this excited about a Crusaders-Blues encounter and many Crusaders fans still remember what Carlos Spencer did to them back in 2004.

The Blues have not tasted victory over the most successful Super Rugby team in the history of the competition since 2014 when they managed a 35-24 victory.

However, the wait for a victory in Christchurch has been even longer – 16 years to be exact.

On that day, back in 2004, Carlos Spencer inspired the defending champions to a 38-29 victory in a match that will forever be remembered for the way Spencer celebrated the final try of the match.

That celebration proved exactly how strong the rivalry between the franchises is.
