Scott Barrett of the Crusaders attempts to evade Makazole Mapimpi and Thomas du Toit of the Sharks. Champion teams find a way to dig themselves out of holes and, in the end, that's what the Crusaders did. Moments earlier, Sharks wing Sbusiso Nkosi pulled off a try-saving tackle, forcing Braydon Ennor into touch three minutes from time. Perhaps the best sign of how the Sharks took the game to the hosts was the fact the Crusaders' game breakers, so lethal in recent weeks, were kept quiet.
