Congratulations to Codie Taylor on reaching 150 games for the Crusaders. A magnificent servant to NZ Rugby.

Superb lines and support play

Newell looking quick.

sparky

Awesome work by Fletcher Newell. Yet again.

Higgins

@sparky Disappointing to see them feature the occasion with him not wearing a Crusaders jersey.

Bones

Crowd sounds epic

I don’t think Taylor was ever gonna let that ball go …could be a long night for the Drua

Speed of the maul from the lineout is ruthless from the Saders

This will be a big score....when Drua have the ball they aren't making good decisions

Bones

Why wasn't Lee penalised for diving into the ruck there?

Yeah, was thinking the same, bit inconsistent from the ref there.

Brilliant vision from Jordon ,superb from Lester and a class finish from Reece

sparky

This is a rout.

Yeetyaah

Drua comeback soon I swear

Yeah especially after penalising the drua player for not holding his bodyweight a couple of minutes before. Couldn't have been a bigger difference between them

It rhymes with shmooshmaders

@sparky hard to believe the Canes lost to this mob

Well it isn’t really, they are hopeless away from home, totally different beast on their home turf.

You have to question their credibility in this comp. How long can they and Moana stay in the comp?

Saders forwards up to all sorts of dumb bullshit at the breakdown. Why? There's no need. It's the kind of play that's harmed the ABs in the past when they bring it to international rugby so hopefully not too many selected this year.
