    The Crusaders are struggling to understand how Chiefs prop Jared Proffit went unpunished for an alleged tip tackle off the ball on David Havili during Saturday's Super Rugby derby at Hamilton

    The Crusaders are struggling to understand how Chiefs prop Jared Proffit went unpunished for an alleged tip tackle off the ball on David Havili during Saturday's Super Rugby derby at Hamilton


    The act wasn't considered worthy of a penalty, or further scrutiny from the foul play committee.

    Assistant coach James Marshall says Havili was lucky to avoid serious injury.



    The Crusaders are contesting a foul play charge on prop Tamaiti Williams after he was cited for a dangerous or reckless act at a ruck.
