Crusaders into the Semis after beating the Brumbies

[Rugbydump]

The Crusaders beat the Brumbies earlier to progress to the Semis. Brumbies out.

Backrower Kieran Read scored one try and set up another as the Canterbury Crusaders beat the ACT Brumbies 40-22 on Saturday to clinch a Super 14 semifinal spot.

The Crusaders needed a win and a four-try bonus point to clinch their 10th straight appearance in Super rugby playoffs and had three tries and a 22-10 lead by halftime.

All Blacks winger Zac Guilford created the Crusaders' first two tries, including one to Read, and Read provided the last pass in the third, scored by his All Blacks teammate, prop Owen Franks.

All Blacks captain Richie McCaw sealed the bonus point with a 51st-minute try and Guilford added a fifth in the dying moments.

I think you mean Supersport, unless you're moving to the UK!

Supersport is far better than Sky Sports anyway. Far more rugby coverage. I think the only thing they don't show is Magners League. Everything else - covered.

Ironically, rugbybone is owned/run by the same company.

well, there's nothing wrong with canging the packages, but an email would have been nice. UK might actually be a possibility, as scotland has become an option for my future

Nice. Edinburgh is awesome. We might head back over there at some stage in the future actually. Very cool place.
