The Rebels began their game against the Waratahs like a house on fire before coming undone with some self-inflicted wounds. StanSportAU SuperRugbyPacific WARvREB
The Crusaders only managed a try in each half, to lock Quinten Strange and wing Leicester Fainga'anuku, but that was more than enough as they kept the Blues tryless. It was just the third time in their history the men from Auckland have been kept to just three points in a match.
The Blues defended superbly . That much was beyond refute as they soaked up wave after wave of pressure to hang in the contest through sheer force of will and ability to bring people down. They were also unlucky to cough up Fainga'anuku's try, with a blatant knock-on by Tamaiti Williams in the leadup somehow missed by the various eyes on play.
The Crusaders were brilliant in their ability to shackle the visitors, and were well led by Richie Mo'unga in the pivot, Tom Christie, Codie Taylor and Scott Barrett up front and by the hard-running Fainga'anuku out wide, with 98 metres on the carry, and a vital try. Quinten Strange struck first for the Crusaders who did not look back after getting an early lead over their rivals
