The Crusaders were just very disjointed, similar to their effort against the Drua. But unlike that day they managed to nail down a couple of key areas, specifically the scrum.Tamaiti Williams and Joe Moody produced some crucial penalties that turned the game in their favour.
Fergus Burke had a very solid game at fullback, moving him to that position has been a success by Scott Robertson. Macca Springer was very good too, setting up Dom Gardiner and Dallas McLeod's tries.
