- 9492
The Crusaders having just conceded a try and Braydon Ennor charging down Otere Black's attempt at goal Richie Mo'unga produced a bit of magic to get his side back in the game.
Following Rieko Ioane’s try, Mo’unga took a sneaky restart which he regathered himself before beating Beauden Barrett and three other Blues' defenders as he plucked the ball up and raced within 10 metres of the Blues try line.
Sneaky from Mo'unga 🔥

Outstandingly enough, Ofa Tu'ungafasi was the man to drag him down before the Blues turned over the ball and cleared.
The restart and charged down conversion attempt proved to be two crucial plays for the Crusaders as Scott Robertson's side extended their unbeaten home run to 36.

From this point it was all the Crusaders as Mo'unga put George Bridge away down the left flank before the winger assisted Mitchell Drummond with Mo'unga also providing the final pass to Will Jordan as the Crusaders won the encounter 26-15.
