Officials have rung the bell on cowbells at Christchurch and banned them ahead of the Super Rugby Pacific final between the Crusaders and the Chiefs this Saturday.
The cowbell is a staple of Waikato rugby, but Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge confirmed on social media that the noisemakers had been banned from the venue - citing safety concerns.
D'Arcy Waldegrave spoke to Colin on Sportstalk about how he can possibly justify this, and then got Chiefs CEO Simon Graafhuis on to respond.
