The Crusaders have kept their home ground streak alive, dominating the back half of their match against the Blues to pull a 36-20 victory.
George Bower scored his first try for the team in his 100th match – one of the six tries they scored, four of which were in the second half.
Crusaders assistant coach Dan Perrin told Piney they pulled a couple of moves out of the vault, adjusting them to suit, as they knew how good it would be to get Bower a try.
“He’s got quick feet on him, and to get the ball placement down with the left arm as well, it’s like he’d scored a hundred of them.”
