All the focus is on Nadolo as he returns home, Brisbane schooled and played in the same Australian Schools side as Will Genia & Quade Cooper
Nadolo smashes Taulagi in a ball and all hit. The Crusaders turn the ball over and kick it ahead. Cooper collects the ball and slips over. Crotty tackles him and the reds concede a penalty for not releasing. Cooper not happy with him tackling him on the ground and not releasing but Peyper is having non of it
Jaco Peyper warned the Crusaders for continued infringement so early and stays true to his word and bins Ellis
Shipperly collects a kick ahead and bursts into space. He send a long pass back inside to his only support, Genia, but its behind the Wallaby and the Reds lose all momentum. Penalty to the Reds though and they take a line out
Crusaders on the attack again as they swing it wide right. Dagg attempts a kick forward which would have put the home side under immense pressure but it deflected off a Reds player and out
Two pieces of brilliance by Colin Slade and Luke Whitelock unlocked the Reds. 10 phases in and Slade popped his arm around a defender to feed Whitelock who offloaded in the tackle for Nadolo to barge over
Crusaders on the wrong end of Peyper's whistle in the initial exchanges. The Reds lose their own line out and the Crusaders have just crossed into their territory and on the attack
McCaw penalised for being off his feet at the breakdown - Cooper lines up a kick
Welcome to the last game of Round 13. Both sides are languishing in the wrong half of the league but Crusaders are on the up and the Reds are on a bad losing streak. Suncorp Stadium is the venue for today's game and Sunday afternoon games are few and far between. Will this benefit the home Reds side or the most successful Super Rugby side in history, the Crusaders?
Go Crusaders
