During his coaching career, Scott Robertson has become known for some silky dance moves after leading teams to titles.
He's done it with the Junior All Blacks, Canterbury in the Mitre 10 Cup and with the Crusaders in Super Rugby.
But there was no breakdancing on Sunday afternoon after the Crusaders' come-from-behind 32-22 win over the Highlanders, which saw them clinch the Super Rugby Aotearoa title.
Robertson says the timing didn't feel right, as the Crusaders still have one more game against the Blues in Auckland next weekend. He was also concerned for prop Oli Jager, who was taken to hospital during the match, after receiving a high shot from Highlanders midfielder Sio Tomkinson.
Instead of breakdancing, the team performed their haka, 'Takina Te Kawa'.
"I didn't do any back-spinning at this stage, because we've still got a job to do," he says. "I felt it was [respectful] to the comp and to Oli [Jager], after the head knock he got.
"I think the haka will suffice in respect to local iwi and what the trophy means.
"We'll have a couple of quiet ones and reflect, but we realise we've still got a big game ahead.
"There are curfews - it's not like normal, when you get to your last game and sleep when you can."
The Crusaders had to overcome a 22-13 deficit midway through the second half to secure victory at Orangetheory Stadium in Christchurch.
A quick-fire double to All Black George Bridge put the Crusaders in front, before Braydon Ennor sealed the result with a late try.
"It was a true final," says Robertson. "It had everything in it.
"We were on the ropes for a lot of the game and in the last 20 minutes, some of our big players just stood up, and the work to scramble on defence and create those opportunities for us to get back down to the other end was pretty special, and worthy of a final."
The Crusaders will end their season against the Blues in a game many fans had hoped would be the 'final' - instead it's a dead rubber.
Robertson hasn't ruled out resting players for the game, but he does want to extend the Crusaders' 12-game win streak over the Blues. The Blues last beat the Crusaders in 2014, when league star Benji Marshall was in the team.
"We haven't gone too deep into it [selection talk], because we just wanted to get this result sorted," says Robertson.
"It's a balance, because if you chuck too many out, your cohesion goes and you've got to make sure you've got enough players that are match fit.''
The Highlanders end their season against the Hurricanes at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday night.
