That was a try

Plenty of errors in the match at this stage. Handling errors have resulted in plenty of scrums. The mass substitutions has had an effect on the match.

Injury

Whitelock steals the ball on his own tryline and the Crusaders counter attack from behind their own tryline. Fruean breaks the line and throws a poor pass which is lost forward. He seems to have injured himself in the process.

Nanai has been electric this evening. He break the defence before offloading to O'Connor who slices the defence. He is tackled out of play but throws a aimless pass in field which Andy Ellis gathers. Ellis is man-handled and taken back 10m to eventually be tackled behind his own tryline. 5m scrum to the Blues.

The Blues are struggling to put together a quality attack. Many unforced errors kill their momentum.

Crusaders put in a huge scrum and win a penalty. Carter line up a penalty.

After a long period of attack, the ref adjudges that Ellis lost it forward, although replays suggest otherwise. Blues scrum just outside their own 22m line.
