Check out the best Super Rugby tries from round five

Two Blues players make the cut in our tries of the week after another high-scoring round of Super Rugby action.

The Crusaders shed their reputation as a come-from-behind team as they demolished the Force 45-17 in the opening game of round five, while the Rebels blew a chance to claim derby bragging rights as they lost out 32-25 to the Waratahs despite leading by 19 at the start of the second half.

On Saturday the Blues came to life to hammer the Bulls 38-14, with Augustine Pulu and Melani Nanai scoring the pick of the bunch in Auckland.

The Brumbies were beaten 18-13 by the Highlanders in Canberra, and in Singapore the Stormers survived a scare against the Sunwolves to come away 44-31 victors - EW Viljoen scoring one of six tries for the visitors.

The Sharks beat the Cheetahs 38-30 in the first of two South African derbies, with the Lions thrashing the Kings 42-19 in the other - Yaw Penxe going over in vain for the Kings.

In the final game of the round, the Jaguares edged the Reds in Buenos Aires, with Ramiro Moyano getting his name on the scoreboard in a 22-8 success.
