It was all in the start for Crusaders' coach Forster
Cru have made a habit of forging superb second half fightbacks this season, but they got their work done early by building up a 26-point advantage at the midway point of their 42-12 home win over Whitehaven.
This triumph took Crusaders to the top of the League One standings and Forster told Cru TV: 'We spoke about starting well, starting better. The last two games, obviously, we've been 10 and 12 behind at half-time.
'So, we knew if we went set-for-set that we'd find a few weaknesses, obviously, in the Whitehaven team that we looked at through the week, and just the way we wanted to play.
'We wanted to move them round a little bit and play a bit more expansive, and I thought we nailed the game-plan pretty much to a 'T' in the first half and we reaped the rewards with 26 points and, obviously, what was really pleasing was the nil.'
Olly Davies, Pat Ah Van (pictured above), Sam Wilde and Lloyd Roby grabbed the first half tries for Cru, setting them on their way to a fifth win in a row.

Crusaders' coach Carl makes another case for the defence
The second half of the League One season gets underway on Sunday as Crusaders, the league leaders, host second-placed Midlands Hurricanes. Following the first nine games of the campaign, North Wales boast the most potent attack, while 104 points conceded means they have the best defence. Head coach Forster told CruCast: 'Defence wins games, that's the common phrase said. But, we've really prided ourselves on our defence this year. 'We've been giving ourselves a number on an average defence what wins you a league and, at the minute, we're well under that and, obviously, we just want to stay on track on that, and it's just a sort of reminder in the middle of a game that this particular number, that we pass the message on and it kind of just gives the lads that little bit of head space to switch on and we just never want to surpass that number. 'I think we've done it twice this year in nine games where they've got past that number. So, I think that speaks volumes in terms of how good we've been without the ball.'

Crusaders edge Blues in arm-wrestle to reach Super Rugby Pacific final
June 13 (Reuters) - Will Jordan scored two tries as the Canterbury Crusaders recovered from an early deficit to edge the reigning champion Auckland Blues 21-14 in an intense clash at Christchurch Stadium on Friday and reach a 17th Super Rugby final. The Blues hammered away at the home try line for more than six minutes after the hooter looking for a converted try to force overtime but came away empty-handed as the Crusaders' defence held firm and kept them on track for a 13th title. A try from Tom Christie set the Crusaders on their way as they fought back from 14-0 down in the 21st minute to guarantee a return to their home fortress next week to face the Waikato Chiefs or ACT Brumbies. Neither the Chiefs nor Brumbies, who meet in the second semi-final on Saturday, will relish a trip to Christchurch, where the Crusaders are now unbeaten in 31 playoff matches over the three decades of Super Rugby. The Blues made it clear that they would be looking to play an expansive game from the third minute when Beauden Barrett fired a crosskick over to Caleb Clarke on the left wing. The Crusaders snuffed out the danger that time but the visitors soon silenced the crowd when a raking AJ Ram kick resulted in a five-metre scrum and winger Mark Tele'a dived over in the corner for the opening try. The home side were reduced to 14 men when Braydon Ennor was yellow carded for a dangerous tackle and centre Rieko Ioane went over under the posts to double the lead with a second try for the Blues. The Crusaders cut the deficit soon after being returned to a full complement when openside flanker Christie forced his way over from close range after series of his teammates had been repelled. Blues prop Joshua Fusitu'a was sent to the sin bin for a high tackle on All Blacks captain Scott Barrett three minutes later and the crowd was back to full voice just before the break when Jordan crossed for a converted try to level up the scores. The Blues spurned a straightfoward shot at goal from a 51st minute penalty before knocking on from the tap and being pinged by the referee at the resultant scrum. The Crusaders then laid siege to the Blues line, turning down several potential shots at goal in favour of kicks to touch before Jordan played tight forward to finally force the ball over the line with 10 minutes left on the clock. Flyhalf Rivez Reihana slotted his third conversion to take the lead out to 21-14 and the visitors' woes deepened when number eight Hoskins Sotutu was sent to the sin bin minutes later.
