 A try from Casey Laulala inside the final twenty minutes sealed a 19-12 win for the Crusaders over the Hurricanes in the inaugural Super 14 Final at Jade Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday.
It was a bizarre, almost eerie match, with heavy fog making it impossible at times to see play on the far side and even the players had trouble seeing the ball in the testing conditions.
But the Crusaders, as usual, had an answer - one crucial try at the business end of the game.
 When the siren went to end the match, it was a fog horn, which was entirely appropriate. The match was a foggy flop, the players reduced to ghosts in the mist.
Pity the spectators at the ground and round the world. After the great build-up between these two great teams, little patches of match only were visible and then they too had an eeriness bout them.
Forget seeing anything that happened 30 metres away except sometimes in vague outline when the fog was kinder. Some spectators left the ground and some huddled near the big screen in the hope of seeing something.
It will be forever the fog-bound Final. It was far, far worse than the sleet Final of Canberra.
