The Crusaders have kept pace with the Chiefs at the top of Super Rugbys New Zealand conference by thumping the Melbourne Rebels 85-26 in Christchurch.The home side ran in 13 tries to four on Saturday night, with wing Johnny McNicholl getting a hat-trick, as they celebrated stand-in skipper Sam Whitelocks 100th match in style.With one round to go, the Crusaders are back to a point behind the Chiefs, who had secured their own bonus-point victory on Friday against the Queensland Reds.The Rebels, who leaked 50 points last weekend against the Stormers, were out of finals contention before the match at AMI Stadium.But the Crusaders, smarting from their loss to the Chiefs in Suva, had plenty to play for.With regular captain Kieran Read given a rest, Whitelock led from the front, with the lock charging forward from the kick-off and then scoring the first try inside two minutes.The Crusaders continued to show plenty of attacking intent as they went on to run in seven tries in the opening spell, with centre Ryan Crotty grabbing a double.They were helped by handling errors, turnovers and missed tackles by the Rebels, who also struggled at set-piece.The visitors had something to cheer late in the opening spell when, with the score at 38-0, skipper Nic Stirzaker finished off a strong run by winger Sefa Naivalu.But the one-way traffic continued early in the second half as the Crusaders added three touchdowns in seven minutes, including a brace by hooker Codie Taylor.There was a period of resistance from the Rebels, which included a kick-and-regather try by midfielder Reece Hodge before he went off injured.The Crusaders responded with two tries in two minutes.The Rebels then produced a late charge, with lock Culum Retallick dotting down from close range and Naivalu finishing off a counter-attack.But McNicholl had the final say, getting his third five-pointer after the hooter.

METAIRIE, La. - The New Orleans Saints will be without one of their top players on Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons.Left tackle Terron Armstead has been ruled out with an unspecified knee injury after missing practice all week.Saints receiver Willie Snead (toe), defensive end Cameron Jordan (knee) and safety Kenny Vaccaro (ankle) are listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis Saturday.Armstead has earned a reputation as one of the NFLs top young linemen in recent years, and he signed an extension with $13 million per year this offseason. He played every snap in the Saints first two games, but he had been on the injury report with both knee and quad injuries during those weeks. Its unclear what Armsteads specific ailment is and how long he might be out.The Saints have a few options to replace Armstead, all of which come with some question marks. They could slide Andrus Peat over from left guard. Peat, who was the Saints top draft pick in 2015, has had ups and downs, but he has been solid over the past two weeks. Left tackle is his most natural position.I played there my whole life, high school and college, said Peat, though he stressed, Im just ready to play wherever.If the Saints opt to leave Peat at left guard, then veteran swingman Senio Kelemete or recently re-signed veteran Tony Hills could be options.Snead, meanwhile, labeled himself as a game-time decision aftter he was able to do some work at practice Saturday for the first time all week.ddddddddddddI feel really good right now. At the end of the day its how Im feeling on game day, said Snead, who said the decision will be up to coach Sean Payton after Snead tests it out and tells him how it feels.Its Monday Night Football, the atmospheres gonna be great. Its gonna be frustrating if I cant go, Snead said. If I can go, Ill make the most of it. ... If I cant, Ill be on the sidelines cheering my butt off.Snead said his toe was injured when it got caught in the turf and rolled up when he was tackled.So it just kind of stretched the ligaments out, Snead said. Right now I feel OK. I dont feel a hundred percent, but throughout the week my foots been getting better and weve been treating it really well.I just want to be healthy for the year, to be honest. I dont want it to linger, I want it to be gone.Jordan practiced on a limited basis all week. Vaccaro ramped up his activity each day. Things look a little more dire for Saints DT Tyeler Davison (shoulder/foot), LB Dannell Ellerbe (quad) and TE Josh Hill (ankle), all of whom are listed as questionable after not participating in practice Saturday. CB Delvin Breaux has also been ruled out with the broken fibula he suffered in Week 1. ' ' '
