Crusaders continue their winning streak after thumping the Force

The Crusaders thrashed the Western Force 45‑17, in a seven‑try bonus‑point victory last night.

This was a comfortable win for the New Zealanders as they scored four first‑half tries through Digby Ioane, Matt Todd, Scott Barrett and Man‑of‑the‑Match Luke Romano leading 28 - 17.

A scrappy second half saw two yellow cards and many scrum issues however the Crusaders scored three more tries to ease to a fifth win in a row.

Romano was awarded the Man‑of‑the‑Match for a superb effort in the boiler‑room as the hosts kept the visitors scoreless in the second‑half.

In other results, the Waratahs beat the Rebels 32-25.

Meanwhile, in other games today, the Blues play the Bulls at 6.35 tonight while the Brumbies play the Highlanders at 8.45pm.
