The Crusaders have been awful tonight. They have lost some players but in the past they have re-generated but they look a shadow of their former selves at the moment

The Warratah's have been decent.

First time in 10 years the Crusaders have started 0-2

First time they haven’t had Scott Robinson in a while

Edit: There are a lot of big names missing from the Crusaders side, big rebuild required. Also maybe worth noting that all Super rugby Pacifica games are being played at AAMI stadium this weekend so Crusaders weren’t the home team

A full time draw in SR goes to Golden Point.



If a regular season match is tied at the end of normal time, the procedure will be: An up to 10 minute golden point period is played after a five minute break;
The first team to score (by a penalty, drop-goal, try, or penalty try) will be the winner;

One minute before golden point begins, the match Referee will do a coin toss to choose which team kicks-off and on which side of the pitch they will play;
Teams and match officials must remain on the field during the break;

Coaching staff are not permitted onto the playing enclosure (i.e., those coaching staff in coaches boxes are not permitted down pitch side);
Injury time is added to this period of play;

The Laws governing Tactical Replacements, Temporary Replacements and Permanent Replacements apply for the entire duration of the match, inclusive of the Golden Point period (ie teams are not entitled to "reset" their replacements).

If no points are scored in the Golden Point period then the match is declared a draw.

Points allocation from matches that go to Golden Point:

1. Drawn match at fulltime goes to Golden point. If no-one scores any points in the 10min period then both teams retain the competition points earned in regular time (ie 2competition points each for the draw, plus if one team has scored 3 or more tries than the opposition then they would get an extra bonus point).

2. Drawn match at fulltime goes to Golden point. Team “A” scores first in golden point. Team A gets 4 competition points for the win (plus any bonus points for scoring 3 or more tries than the opposition, which for clarity could be 2 tries in regular time and 1 in golden point). Team B gets 1 competition point for losing within 7 points. Note in another example if a team scores 3 or more tries in normal time, but normal time ends in a draw, and then that team loses in Golden Point then they would get 1 point for the 3 or more tries and a further 1 point for losing within 7. The winning team in this example would get 4 points.
