Nemani Nadolo scored an impressive try last night to help the Crusaders claim a 57‑14 bonus point Super Rugby victory over the Cheetahs in Christchurch.

The turning point in the game was when Cheetahs fullback Willie le Roux was yellow carded for a high tackle on Nadolo.

Jordan Taufua and Daniel Carter had two tries each while there was also one from Israel Dagg and David Havili.

The Crusaders were also awarded a penalty try in the match.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have earned their third straight victory this season when they beat the Western Force 25‑24 with a late penalty this morning while the Sharks have upset the Chiefs with 12‑11 victory.

Poor discipline cost both teams dearly as three red cards were issued in the match - two for the Sharks and one for the Chiefs.

In other results, the Hurricanes beat the Highlanders yesterday with a 20-13 win while the Lions defeated the Rebels 20-16.

The Waratahs will meet the Brumbies at 5.05pm today.
