Try of the night scored by Whitehead, who begins the move deep in his own half beating 2 men to get out of the 22. After a number of offloads the ball gets back to Whitehead coming from deep, who takes a great line to beat the defence and score under the posts.
More great Crusaders play, as they move the ball patiently left and right in the Kings 22 until eventually the ball reaches George Whitelock who drives over. Allthough looking initially held up the ref awards what is his third of the evening.
With 10 minutes left the game has effectively ended as a spectacle, with the bonus point long being secured for the Crusaders. The Kings are still trying hard, but finding it very hard to get anywhere in the face of good line speed from the home side.
The Crusaders turn the ball over at a Kings lineout, and when the ball is moved to Luke Whitelock he shows great power and strength to beat two and go over under the sticks.
Awesome try.
55 minutes gone and with the influx of subs some of the Crusaders intensity has gone, but they are still very much on top, holding most of the possession and territory.
Its a familiar story for the Kings, as a penalty is kicked to touch for the Crusaders to set up another driving maul, this time TOdd the beneficiary as the pack rumbles over with ease.
Early second half penalty for the Crusaders, as with the New Zealand team on the attack the Kings are penalised for hands in the ruck, when the ball appeared to be out of the ruck.
After a period of good pressure from the Kings in Crusaders territory, a rolling maul is set up which gives the chance to van der Walt to get over the line. Nice reward for the Kings who have defended gallantly against an immensely powerful and impressive Crusaders side.
The Crusaders kick another penalty to touch, and off the resulting lineout Carter has a good carry to give the Crusaders momentum. Off the back of the next ruck Heinz dummies the defence to get over for the try.
