Crusaders prop Tamaiti Williams has received a 3-week ban for "dangerous play in a ruck" in last weekend's game v the Chiefs.
No word of Jared Proffit being cited for his tip tackle on David Havili, who landed on his neck, during the same game.
Double standards? 😠

will Jordan à gauche tapant sur les pecs de son coéquipier Sevu Reece. Qcore en surimpression.
VICTOIRE DES CRUSADERS !
Alors que les Chiefs ont entamé le match 14-0, les Crusaders via un triplé de Christian Lio-Willie ont su remonter le score et prendre le large en 2e MT. Un réveil tardif des Chiefs leur aura presque permis de récup un bonus défensif.

That was an intense first half! Hopefully, the Crusaders start the second half better and don't hand the Chiefs another lead; They must also keep their emotions under control. The referee is close to handing out a yellow card for those handbags!
Goooooo Saders!
#SuperRugbyPacific #CHIvCRU #SRP2026
I don’t think tactical kicking is bad, but I think a lot of players aren’t that good at it #CHIvCRU
40+1' | Taha Kemara slots a penalty goal and it's time for the break!
Despite that, more handbags are thrown .. Lots of feeling in this game!
