Noah Hotham has been scratched late in the piece for the Crusaders, so Louie Chapman is handed a start. Mitch Drummond comes onto the bench.

Didnt think Jordan could pass?

Nice pass Jordan. Lazy defence by the Drua

I'm astonished.

Not surprised to see Fihaki pass way too early though.

And an 80m kick by Reece goes dead...had Jordan and another outside, poor option to kick

He's propelled himself

Looked double in real time, ref looked like he was gonna call it then decided to.award it...

Superb lines and support play

Newell looking quick.

Awesome work by Fletcher Newell. Yet again.

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

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

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
