COMMENTATOR JUSTIN MARSHALL had precisely zero sympathy for his fellow All Black Owen Franks this morning.

The Crusaders prop got himself lost under a David Horwitz high ball and didn’t regain his bearings again until after the ball had smacked him on the head.

Fortunately for the Crusaders, Israel Dagg didn’t react the same way as Marshall, who absolutely combusted with laughter.

The hosts were already well on their way to a 29 – 10 victory over the Waratahs when Franks cushioned the ball Dagg’s way. The fullback joined Johnny McNicholl, Richie Mo’unga and Jordan Taufua on the try-scorers list for the Crusaders.

Rob Horne touched down for the ‘Tahs after an excellent Israel Folau break and former Crusader Zac Guildford broke free to deny the hosts a bonus point in the second half.
