As it happened: Crusaders v Lions

80' - Crusaders full value for their win, but not close to the side they should be

Back to the drawing board for the Lions

76' - Carter adds the conversion and the Crusaders have their bonus point try

Crusaders 34-6

72' - Finally we have some play to speak about as the Crusaders rumble upfield

Lions lucky as Nadolo fails to hold on with a massive overlap for the home side

69' - All sorts of messy at the moment

Crusaders down in their own 22m. A long way from where they need to be for a 4th try

65' - TERRITORY STAT

Crusaders 70%

Clearly the Lions have spent a lot of time in their own half this match

63' - So close to the 4th try by the Crusaders as Nadolo puts a toe on the touchline before crashing over

Lucky escape for the Lions

61' - Carter adds the conversion

Crusaders 27-6

57' - Carter adds the conversion

Crusaders 20-6

54' - Another penalty to the Crusaders - and another chat with the Lions

Penalty try time soon?

52' - HEROIC BY JANTJIES

Jordan Taufua looks certain to score but Jantjies holds him up!

51' - Carter's penalty HITS THE POST and the Lions fail to secure the ball, knocking it on and it's a scrum

Not ideal for the man-short Lions

50' - YELLOW FOR THE LIONS

Oooh, not so sure about that one

The Lions scrum had ben far, far better in the second half, but after being warned 30 odd minutes ago, referee shoes Julian Redelinghuys a card

49' - Crusaders throwing the ball around once again with gay abandon, but eventually cough it up

The current side not a shadow of the side on ages ago when they would've been out of sight by now

46' - OVER!

Tremendous kick by Jantjies as he lands the penalty into the wind

Crusaders 13-6

45' - Penalty to the Lions as the Crusaders are pinged for a side entry at the ruck

The Lions will indeed have a chance to be the first team to put points on the board in the second half through Elton Jantjies...

40' - Crusaders giving the ball tremendous air, but going no where to be honest

Carter's pass to McCaw misses its target and goes into touch - as the half-time siren sounds

39' - Bad by the Lions as they win a free-kick at the scrum as the hosts push early, but then give away an easy penalty when Sampie Mastriet seals off the ball illegal

Crusaders set up an attacking lineout

32' - Lions awarded a penalty thanks to more impressive defence

Hallmarks of last weekend when they defended like trojans for almost the full 80 minutes

Robbie Coetzee the man who effected the penalty

30' - More trouble for the Lions at the scrum as the Crusaders are awarded a penalty

Referee having a stern word with Lions skipper Warren Whiteley

29' - DID YOU KNOW?

The Lions have never beaten the Crusaders in Christchurch, but they have been the seven-time Super Rugby champions in Nelson

27' - McNICHOLL DOWN

Not looking good for the Crusaders' wing as McNicholl goes down again

They need to get him off

26' - AND THE LIONS ARE ON THE BOARD

Jantjies puts up the first points of the match for the visitors

Crusaders 13-3

24' - PENALTY TO THE CRUSADERS

Carter converts a somewhat debatable penalty after McCaw looks to be off his feet when turning over the ball

Crusaders 13-0
