CHRISTCHURCH - The Canterbury Crusaders swamped the ACT Brumbies with a five-try second-half revival while an Israel Folau Super Rugby try-scoring record was not enough to stop a Blues victory over th
e NSW Waratahs on Saturday.
But it was the resurgent Blues who celebrated at the final whistle with a 32-29 victory to complete four consecutive wins for the first time since 2011. The penalties that blighted their first half -- when they conceded eight -- disappeared and they found the precision that was missing from their early play.
But the second 40 minutes was a different story, starting with the first of Sevu Reece's two tries three minutes after the restart.
