The Rebels are killing time, waiting for the celebrations to begin.

Ultimate Rugby Feb 2

Fruean is penalised for playing the ball on the ground with 2min remaining. That looks like it will seal the result. Rebels lineout on halfway.

Ultimate Rugby Feb 2

The Crusaders restart their attack from the halfway line. They win a penalty after Alo-Emile goes offside. Unbelievably, Slade fails to find touch and the Rebels are on the counter.

Ultimate Rugby Feb 2

Crusaders have lost the ball forward once again. 7min remaining and the Rebels have a scrum which should allow them to clear the ball up field and finally get out of their own 22m.

Ultimate Rugby Feb 2

Crusaders are not going anywhere. They are seriously testing the Rebels defence. This time they have a scrum 15m out midfield, plenty of options on either side.

Any backs left to sub for the Saders?

Ultimate Rugby Feb 2

After the Crusaders absolutely smash the Rebels scrum, they win a penalty. McCaw takes the penalty quickly and gets the ball to Franks who gets over the line for a try, but unbelievably loses it forward. Major opportunity lost for the home side.

Carter's well off form

Ultimate Rugby Feb 2

Carter attempts to put through a grubber, but it hits a defender which allows Stirzaker to pick up and dash 50m to score.

FINALLY something interesting
