Quality individual score from Tom Marshall. Bulls turned over in midfield, ball moved wide and as it comes back, Marshall darts through and finishes very well
Despite having had just 36% territory in the game, the Bulls are keeping themselves in the game through the boot of Morne Steyn. Good start to the second period for the visitors as Steyn once again reduces the deficit.
Very slow Bulls response in broken play. May I please request the loose forwards to pick up the loose balls.
Crusaders starting to dominate proceedings here at AMI Stadium with three tries to their name at the break. After a poor opening quarter, the home side have come to life but Bulls flyhalf Morne Steyn is keeping the South Africans in the game with three well taken penalties.
Huge amount of possession for the Crusaders and after 17 phases, winger McNicholl goes over in the corner after a well worked overlap.
Ndungane goes off after taking a big knock from Sam Whitelock in the opening exchanges.
Read scrambles over the line from just 2 metres out after a solid attacking effort in close quarters from the 'Saders forwards
Finally Freuan catches a pass and flops over the line from 2 metres out after some quality phase play from the home side, with backs and forwards linking well.
The Bulls defending very well although the Crusaders are killing themselves with endless unforced errors. Robbie Freuan in the centre is having a nightmare to put it kindly.
Crusaders have started the better, dragging the Bulls from side to side with the likes of Carter, Dagg and Crotty controlling proceedings. Handling errors just letting them down at the minute. Bulls struggling to get into the game so far.
