(Reuters) -Will Jordan scored two tries as the Canterbury Crusaders recovered from an early deficit to edge the reigning champion Auckland Blues 21-14 and reach a 17th Super Rugby final in a match of rare intensity on Friday.
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.
