80' | Time's up. Another loss in Australia. At least there's the bonus point.
The Crusaders don't seem able to win without Will Jordan. The injury list is also too long. Disappointing.
Full time: Force 31 - 26 Crusaders

And now the second half is underway!
The Crusaders are in front on the score board, but lost the momentum in the last part of the first half. They need to tidy things up and watch their discipline.
Hoping for a better second half & good impact from a mostly inexperienced bench.
Go Crusaders! 🔴⚫
