Crusaders 5m out… then a little knock.
Reds defensive 5m scrum
11 Minutes remain
Reds scrum penalty… stepping outwards and then scrumming in.
Try Henry Speight, Reds!!
Bryce Hegarty duffs the conversion…
Crusaders 24 / 20 Reds
Mo’unga with a cross-kick… far too big and into the stands.
4 Minutes remain
Yet another Saders scrum penalty…
Saders will want to close out the game now.
Saders knock, near the Reds 22.
One last Reds chance… with less than a minute to go.
Reds get the ball under huge pressure from the scrum.
Reds penalty, inside their own 22… kicked to touch of course… and a very, very bad touchfinder…
Reds can’t fight their way out of their own 22… they keep losing ground.
Saders defence now supreme…
Sevu Reece steals the ball… and scores for the Saders!
TMO
No try… stripped, touches a Res player.. regathered… so effectively a knock.
Crusaders (10) 24 / 20 (10) Reds (Final Score)
4 Tries to the Reds and only 3 Tries to the Saders, yet the Saders win.
Crusaders & Brumbies now both on 18 Log Points, leading the charge to the title.
The Cell C Sharks / Los Jaguares match tomorrow will place one of them on TOP of the Log after the weekend.
The Chiefs could also move to 18 Log points, if they beat the Waratahs well in the next game coming up just now at 10:15 SA Time.
Feels like I have been harping on about accuracy for years now… well at least for today’s 2 games played, but we saw it again in this match.
The little missed moments causing the bigger moments for the opposition.
