Leicester Fainga'anuku and Will Jordan both scored hat-tricks to power the Crusaders to a 53-15 bonus-point win over the Western Force in Perth.

Winger Fainga'anuku touched down three times in the first half to set the tone of last night's Super Rugby Pacific match at HBF Park.

Fullback Jordan then completed the demolition job with three of his own in the second half in the eight-tries-to-two romp.

The Crusaders entered the clash under intense pressure after suffering two losses from their past three games - a rare form slump for the 12-time champions.

Their win over the Force has helped improve their record to 8-3, but the Crusaders' top-two hopes will be put to the test when they take on the second-placed Brumbies in Canberra on Friday night.

In other results, the Blues thrashed the Rebels 71-28, the Highlanders defeated the Reds 27-19, the Waratahs edged Moana Pasifika and the Brumbies beat the Chiefs 38-28.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua take on the Hurricanes at 3.35pm today.
