Bernard Foley succeeded in infuriating the Crusaders again with a fine late second half try that also earned him Australian player of the round status.

Foley has made ANZ Stadium his haven whenever he confronts the Crusaders, backing up his excellent performance in last year's finals victory, with an accomplished effort on Saturday night, which included controlling the midfield. Foley has shot up to fifth spot in the medal count, 16 points behind the leader- Brumbies flanker David Pocock.

The try of the round goes to Reds winger Chris Kuridrani which came after endless passes and constant changes of direction.
