'Alright, but where's my cake?'

Crusaders 20-12 Waratahs

They'll be one or two beers swilled in Christchurch tonight after the Crusaders gave Australia-bound coach Robbie Deans the perfect leaving present after edging a nail-biting finale in Christchurch against the Waratahs.

It was a fifth Super rugby trophy for Deans who begins the next chapeter of his rugby coaching career with the Wallabies next week.

The Waratahs battled limb from limb in the first-half, going in 12-11 ahead with young pups Lachie Turner and Kurtley Beale touching down while Crusaders Mose Tuiali'i replied for the hosts.

But in the second half, two Dan Carter penalties sandwiched by a drop-goal from the same sweet left boot sealed the Waratahs fate and with it a seventh title for the Crusaders.
