Crusaders 55 Cheetahs 7

The Crusaders have smashed the Cheetahs 55-7 in their Super 14 rugby match at AMI Stadium in Christchurch.

The home side, leading the Super 14 table, had the bonus try on the board by the 25th minute, running in five first half tries to lead 33-0 at the break and added a further four in the second half.

All five of the Crusaders first half tries went to the backs with Sean Maitland, Casey Laulala, Dan Carter, Leon Macdonald and Scott Hamilton getting on the scoresheet.

It was much the same in the second half as Hamilton and Laulala added second tries along with replacement back Caleb Ralph while hooker Ti'i Paulo was the only forward to get on the scoresheet.

Daniel Carter converted five tries while the only joy for the Cheetahs was an intercept try to Jongi Nokwe.
