Inability to respect soggy Suva conditions could cost Crusaders dearlyPhil Walter Crusaders lock Sam Whitelock, watched by Andy Ellis (right), charges upfield against the Chiefs in Suva. SKY SPORT The Chiefs have regained top spot on the Super Rugby ladder, with a 23-13 defeat of the Crusaders in Suva, Fiji. The try the Crusaders did score - to right wing Jone Macilai - was a cracker after the halftime hooter. Crusaders assistant coach Tabai Matson said the game plan didn't hinge on players trying to use the ball so much in the wet, slippery conditions. The Chiefs looked good; they kept their heads, defended well and played to the conditions.
