Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay ponders whether the Crusaders should change their name.

On with the show:

Doug Avery:

We ask a Marlborough farmer and a crusader for mental health who lives in the Crusaders' catchment, what he thinks of a possible name for our most successful rugby franchise. Plus we ask how things are going on the farm in Marlborough.

James Shaw:

We take our weekly look at Super Rugby with one of the world's best players.
