Crusaders record first win

Nervously clinging onto a 26-24 lead, Luke Dyer settled the match in the Welsh side's favour with his second try of the afternoon in the last minute.
Chris Beasley, David Tangata-Toa and Lincoln Withers also touched down as the Crusaders ended their 11-game losing streak. Josh Hannay's five goals also proved crucial on a wet and gloomy afternoon at the Grattan Stadium.
David Howell and Luke Williamson scored second-half tries as Harlequins earned an important two points by beating Wakefield 24-17.
The hosts upped the ante after a tight first half, increasing the tempo and pulling away from the scrappy visitors.
With both sides having strong play-off aspirations it was always likely to be a close contest, and that was in evidence in a see-saw first half that saw the lead change hands four times.
Richie Myler set up a try and scored another as Salford capitalised on an error-strewn Huddersfield performance to win 24-4.
Giants stand-off Kevin Brown attempted to find touch with a penalty in the sixth minute, but only succeeded in kicking the ball straight to a Reds player. Salford took advantage by building a flowing move, which ended with Myler putting in John Wilshere down the left channel for a converted try.
The Giants, looking for a ninth win in 11 league and cup matches, never recovered, and Myler later scored a stunning solo try to cap a deserved victory.
