80	Full-time in Brisbane as the Crusaders come from 21-8 down to claim the win! Carter's return was one to remember but credit the Reds, who gave everything in defence while showing great attacking rugby! Thanks for joining us!
79	The Reds aren't done though as Hynes almost gets over down the left! There's a penalty coming in a dramatic lineout finish...
78	CARTER TRY CONVERSION MISSED! 21-27! That should be the game in Brisbane as the Crusaders race away before slow ball is slipped down the short-side for the All Black ten to squeeze over!
76	WILLIAMS TRY CONVERTED BY CARTER! 21-22! Great work again from the Reds though thwarts their opponents as Paulo must throw 40 out. Laulala takes it up to the 22 now before the ball is moved to the other flank and Maitland...what about that from the youngster! He ghosted around Barnes and switched with the big lock before the touchline to score! Can Carter mark his comeback in style? Of course he does!
74	A converted score would win it! The 'Saders' forwards do their work again from five out - will they cross? Not yet as hands in the ruck see Lucas sent to the bin by Lawrence! Surely the battered and bruised Reds can't hold out now...
72	Here's Carter with that step for the line...now he looks for Brett on the angle...but he slips at the vital time! What about that? McCaw's men are back on halfway due to the clearance but use the pace of Maitland to get going to the 22...
70	Here come the 'Saders - sensing a double score - with their props showing pace and skills down the touchline! But Lawrence blows for a forward pass as the Reds struggle for much-needed air! Not long to do that though as McCaw call for the scrum free-kick...
68	READ TRY CONVERTED BY CARTER! 21-15! The Crusaders opt for muscle instead of backs this time and McCaw has a go for the line. But it's his flank partner who crashes over against the fourteen men Reds - game on!
66	Crockett is at the base and spins it blind to eventual recipient Laulala down the blind. However, the centre's picked up and speared by Iaone, who finds himself in the sin-bin as a groggy Laulala takes a minute to get to his feet...to the corner it goes!
64	Read runs hard before McCaw and Williams look to find Ellis the perfect ball. The Reds look to have done it again! They have turned it over through Lucas but he fumbles immediately with Flynn gathering to crash over...he's on his back (TMO time)...NO TRY!
62	Just five metres out now with Crockett one of many an inch from the whitewash! How are the Reds holding out? And they've even turned it over and cleared through Barnes - no rest though!
60	Great last-ditch stuff from the Reds' pack turns the ball over to push to Kiwis back again! Ellis starts off another attack with Franks on hand to restart things - free-kick restart.
58	Carter pumps the ball right into the corner as the tension grows in Brisbane. The lineout is scrappy from Flynn but it could still be on here wide out! No, as Hynes reads the overlap superbly to save his side for now!
56	Carter and Ellis are on! They've got 25 minutes to turn this around as Flynn picks the slow ball 40 out. The Crusaders work the phases for now as the penalty advantage continues...
54	Deans has thrown on a couple of his big bench men after that with Flynn and Williams called. What a game we have now with the 'Saders back in a promising position...another mistake thwarts them though as Ellis waits.
52	COOPER TRY CONVERTED BY SCHIFCOFSKE! 21-8! Iaone now shows his impressive pace and step to almost crash over - it's all Reds at the moment five out! Very slow ball though as the visitors defend right on the offside line...now it comes out to Cooper - it has to go wide - but he steps back inside to dive over!
49	Paulo throws on halfway as the 'Saders forwards flex again - it's all very quiet in the half's opening minutes. Brett does well to escape the pressure now and he gets away with a mistake too as Hynes throws quickly when it went out on the full!
46	Can the Reds keep the league-leaders at bay once again? Still they defend on their own 22 before Brett opts to drop back for a shot...wide and the crowd count that as a success!
44	The maul gets going with McCaw controlling from the tail! On they go to the Reds' 22 before it's fired out to Laulala and now Bateman with an advantage being played...
42	Barnes starts the second period with the Reds reclaiming possession until a knock-on hands over the ball. The Crusaders look to run wide from their 22 and they'll have the lineout on the Reds' ten-metre...
40	Nothing comes of that attack as Barnes is smashed by Bateman thirty out! What a half in Brisbane though as the Reds' sponge is well and truly dripping after soaking up that forty minutes! See you in ten!
38	But it could be the Reds who strike at the first-half death as several smart angles and pops almost see three go over. The Crusaders escape their whitewash though as the interval nears - one more shot for the hosts!
36	The Reds manage another turnover and what a relieving kick from Schifcofske to just outside the 'Saders' 22! That will please his pack no end as they seem to have done all the soaking they can muster...
34	Nearly nightmare stuff for the Reds here as Houston's pop five from his own line is slapped down by Read with Maitland lurking! However, the hosts clear their lines again from the subsequent reset...
32	McCaw pops to Filipo as they utilise the slow ball well. Now they spread it with Laulala flicking the ball on to young Maitland...what footwork to get round Barnes...but he spills the ball in the final tackle!
31	McCaw races down the short-side at pace now, but he has the ball dislodged by Moore in the end on the half-hour. They're on the 22 though with Thorn taking it on - can they get in front before the break?
29	The powerful Tuiali'i finds himself with it following an expansive move on halfway. However, obstruction is ruled as Brett hacks the ball away in disgust with the line in reach! Guess who's in possession again though?
27	The Crusaders' maul is set up before Fotuali'i breaks away down the blind and grubbers - slightly wasteful in the circumstances. The Reds clear again but not too far as Paulo waits again...
25	Moore tidies the loose ball before Turinui tries to get past the first line on halfway. But the direction isn't quiet there as the Reds run the risk of an intercept here. Possession is turned over and Paulo will throw in on the opposition ten-metre...
23	BRETT PENALTY! 14-8! Referee Lawrence has a word with Lucas following his dangerous tackle on Brett and the 'Saders point to the posts to close the gap - that they do!
21	The Reds must be wondering how they are nine points clear after that early NZ pressure! They won't care though as there's more defending to do here as Brett steps well 20 out...
19	HYNES TRY CONVERTED BY SCHIFCOFSKE! 14-5! A few scrappy scrums slow down the spectacle, until Croft picks superbly to race 30 metres! That has definitely got some go-forward as they spread it to Hynes...what a finish from the wing!
16	Latham is now on the bench as Iaone takes his place - he'll need to settle in quickly though as the 'Saders are back downfield. Fotuali'i puts in fifteen out but his pass is poor and the visitors will need to start again on the back foot...no joy!
14	HORWILL TRY CONVERTED BY SCHIFCOFSKE! 7-5! It looks very much as though it is as the Kiwis test him out with a high ball! The Wallaby's shoulder seemed to give way as he passed and he signals to the sidelines! But the Reds hit back with great continuity seeing captain Horwill over!
11	The Reds get their hands on it at last as they attack on the 'Saders' 22. But Latham is in agony with his shoulder and can't catch the simple pass - could that be his evening over?
8	POKI TRY CONVERSION MISSED! 0-5! The visitors continue their barrage as they race downfield in a matter of seconds with Tuiali'i heavily involved! How are the Reds still level? They're not now though, as Bateman glides down the left before Poki's strength is enough to cross wide out!
6	Still 'Saders possession in opposition territory and they have a free-kick for hands, which is taken on by Paulo. Read could be in here as it opens up ten out, but his final pass goes straight to Houston...and Barnes clears very well!
4	Latham has another charged-down here as the Crusaders seem to be targeting the full-back! Paulo throws long 35 out but it's slow ball for the visitors...
2	Brett starts the game as the Crusaders look to continue their remarkable run against the Aussie sides! MacDonald now puts one high which is taken well by Barnes on his own ten-metre...charge-down! And Laulala could be over in the corner here...no, great tracking back by Latham!
0	Welcome to Suncorp Stadium! Already secured of a Super 14 home play-off, the table-topping Crusaders roll into Queensland with the comfort of resting several key All Blacks. Warming the bench is Dan Carter, Andy Ellis and Ali Williams while the Reds welcome back Wallaby Chris Latham at full-back. It should be an open one so sit back and enjoy!
