Crusaders beat Chiefs 31-24

The Canterbury Crusaders maintained their unbeaten run with a 31-24 win over the Waikato Chiefs in Suva on Friday, extending their lead at the top of the Super Rugby table.

The Crusaders only scored three tries to four against their closest New Zealand rivals but fly-half Richie Mo’unga’s two conversions and four penalties gave them the win. The result boosts the Crusaders chances of finishing top of the ladder and claiming the reward of home-ground advantage in the play-offs.
