Rugby: Crusaders inaugurate new permanent stadium with a match against Waratahs

# Rugby: New Zealand team the Crusaders will inaugurate their new stadium in Christchurch with a Super Rugby Pacific match against the Waratahs tomorrow. The Te Kaha stadium was built at a cost of 6.6-billion-rand to replace Lancaster Park, which was severely damaged during an earthquake in 2011. The Crusaders were without a permanent home ground since then. The new stadium has a full-covered roof and can seat 25-thousand spectators. A sell-out crowd is expected.
