For 23 years, Scott Robertson has been turning up to Rugby Park - both in a playing and coaching capacity, but only this week has he allowed himself to reflect.

He says he is proud of being a Crusader and he feels like he has left a bit of myself and he says they have given him a lot as well, it is not just the titles or records he's talking about, either.

When questioned on what he believes is the key to his success he says he believes he is a good selector - of coaching staff and players.

He further says the connection to align and unite people is what he loves doing and he thinks it is the consistency to his success.

Looking back on the moments of history he has created in a red and black dynasty, there's one that stands out to him - his first title at the helm.

It was 2017 and the Crusaders were in South Africa in front of a 62,000 strong crowd, looking to win their first title in nine seasons - a drought that seems almost unbelievable today.

It also taught them what it takes to win away from home - something they have drawn on again, ahead of Saturday's trip to Hamilton to face the Chiefs.

Robertson says it is what you play, you have got to perform wherever you play, this is what the Crusaders do and why they love playing.

The Crusaders will face the Chiefs at 7.05pm tonight at FMG Stadium, Waikato.
