Ethan Blackadder of the Crusaders is brought down during their 52-26 win over the Rebels in Sydney. They could only manage a 26-point win and were left hoping for a Blues loss to play again next week. Sevu Reece went across the line on the next passage of play, and again the Crusaders looked set to push on with the job. For much of the second half, the Crusaders' hopes of making the final looked in real jeopardy. The Crusaders continued to score tries, with two more for Reece and tries to Oli Jager and Braydon Ennor in the second half.
