Super Rugby Countdown Day 8: Teams who've won the most matches
- 1368
We take a look at the teams who've won the most matches in Super Rugby.
Crusaders (276 wins)
Unsurprisingly, the Crusaders have won the most matches in Super Rugby, having also won the most titles with 10. Head coach Scott Robertson is bidding for a remarkable seventh Super Rugby title under his tenure in what could be his final season in charge.
Robertson has been linked with the All Blacks job after the World Cup, as veteran lock Sam Whitelock plays his final season of Super Rugby this year, while long-serving fly-half Richie Mo’unga is also set to depart after signing a deal in Japan.
Brumbies (219 wins)
The Brumbies were easily the best performed Australian team in the competition last year, despite a torrid finish to the regular season which saw them lose their last three games.
There was a lot to like about the Brumbies' season, including the continued growth of Noah Lolesio, the outstanding form of Rob Valetini and Len Ikitau, and emergence of Nick Frost and young hooker Billy Pollard. But that will have done little to absolve the disappointment of a season when they had a genuine chance to win it all, and missed sending McKellar out on the ultimate high note.
Hurricanes (207)
Chiefs (195)
With McMillan having retained the head coaching role after Warren Gatland's move to a director of rugby position, the Chiefs were entrenched in the top eight through the entirety of the regular season and eventually finished third.
Damian McKenzie is back in Hamilton after his one-year sabbatical at Suntory Sungoliath.
Blues (191)
The Blues looked like the team to beat for much of 2022, finishing on top of the ladder after the regular season with an incredible 13 wins from their 14 games.
First they were fortunate to survive a stirring comeback by the Brumbies in the semis, before they were then no match for a Crusaders outfit that came to Eden Park intent on spoiling their great rivals' coronation. The 21-7 defeat on their home patch was a bitter pill to swallow at the end of an otherwise brilliant season.
