Reds (7) 17 / Crusaders (10) 16 (Final Score)
The Reds hosted the Crusaders at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane at 08:10 SA Time, Sunday morning. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Reds flyhalf, Quade Cooper, slotted a penalty in the 80th minute to secure a 1-point lead and eventual win. It was a hard and brutal match but the relatively low scores both sides just do not do justice to the open and flowing game presented by these tow sides on the day.
Scorers:
Reds: 2 Conversions & 1 Penalty Quade Cooper, 1 Try Ben Tapuai, 1 Try Will Genia
Crusaders: 3 Penalties & 1 Conversion Dan Carter, 1 Try Brent Ward
