The defending champion Reds scored the only try of the match.

The lead changed hands a couple of times during the second half but the Crusaders held on despite having prop Wyatt Crockett sin-binned for a dangerous tackle.

Tom Taylor kicked five penalties for the Crusaders, who have now won four straight games and move up to fifth on the table.
