This week, it’s The Playmakers’ turn.
They are the heartbeat of every Crusaders backline, the decision-makers who see space before it exists, set the tempo, and turn half-chances into match-winners.
From steady service at 9 to cool game management at 10, and the punch and poise of our midfield at 12 and 13, these playmakers have shaped how the Crusaders attack. Now it is your turn to decide who makes the Legends XV.
Voting is open from 26 January to 1 February.
Cast your votes across the Halfback, First Five, Inside Centre, and Outside Centre positions, and help shape the ultimate team of legends.
