The success of the Crusaders-Sharks match at Twickenham is already garnering talk of another Super Rugby sojourn to the northern hemisphere.

The UK's Daily Telegraph headline reads "Breathless at Twickenham", while Sky UK commentator Miles Harrison believes people will want to see more.

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder was initially sceptical, but says it was a wonderful spectacle.

Blackadder says it could happen again one day.

While the crowd figure of 36,000 was fewer than expected, Miles Harrison says more time to market and promote the game would see a bigger turn out.
