The Hurricanes have lost their intensity which has characterised their season thus far. They seem to just be going through the motions.
Carter clears the ball up field and the Hurricanes need to reset their attack once again.
A knock-on by Savea brings the Hurricanes attack to a stop.
The Canes form a maul, but it is well defended by the Crusaders.
Marshall has shifted to flyhalf for the Hurricanes after Black has gone off. Hurricanes have a lineout inside the Crusaders 22m area.
Hurricanes have a scrum on halfway. They are 12 points behind with 15 minutes remaining.
Nadolo makes something from nothing. He receives the ball 20m out with a number of defenders around him. He busts through Ardie Savea's attempted tackle before offloading to Matt Todd who's momentum just about gets him over the tryline to extend the home sides lead.
True... Should have been a purple card
Matt Todd is penalised for going off his feet at the ruck. Should be an easy 3 points for Black.
The Hurricanes have a lineout on halfway, they spread it wide to Savea who puts through a grubber kick. After some heavy pressure on the Crusaders, they eventually get a clearing kick away, however the Hurricanes have won some territory.
