The Crusaders cruised to a 38‑22 Super Rugby win over the Hurricanes, scoring six tries to four in a dominant display at Rugby League Park in Christchurch.
The win gives the Crusaders a club record of 17 straight Super Rugby wins, their last loss coming nearly a year ago to the Highlanders.
A clinical first‑half performance put the game beyond doubt by halftime, the Hurricanes not helping their cause with an error‑ridden performance and some shaky lineout work.
Winger Manasa Mataele delivered a man of the match performance with his offloads and attack but unfortunately got injured late in the game.
In other results, the Sharks beat the Blues 26-7, Stormers beat the Lions 19-17 and the Waratahs defeated the Sunwolves 31-30.
