Colin Mansbridge: Crusaders chief executive on the decision to ban cowbells from the Super Rugby Pacific final - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Crusaders are hoping Chiefs fans will come check out the action at this weekend's Super Rugby Pacific final in Christchurch - but they've suggested leaving the cowbells at home.

In a LinkedIn post, Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge promised this would be a game fans would enjoy, but there's no room for cowbells in the stadium.

Mansbridge jokingly claimed they'd be melted down and turned into a trophy - but he's serious about the risks.

"You go to Eden Park, you go to FMG, you go to any other venue in the country and you've got a bit of leg room and a bit of bum room, but you don't in this place."
