Lions v Crusaders - Super Rugby Final

[ACT Crusader]

We just need to keep our nerve defensively.

Here we go.

[JustAnotherFan]

Let's see what Lions can do ...

[ACT Crusader]

Whitelock

[MiketheSnow]

Reserve hooker blows it

[Crash]

Whitelock with a play reminiscent of the 2015 WC semi...

[Wally]

Crusaders out on their feet

[JustAnotherFan]

Oh well, well done Crusaders. Not always easy winning away from home. I have already started running it on the Internet to my Lions fans mates at the game. Good thing I didn't buy a ticket for the family.

Going down swinging fair play

Didn't want to "upvote or whatever" this until game was in the bag... didn't want to appear an arrogant NZ rugby fan.
But yep - good solid effort from the Lions, made a good final.

[MiketheSnow]

Good final.
Shame about the red card in terms of a contest - correct decision.
Crusaders did enough.

[ACT Crusader]

Take a bow Razor. You've had a hell of a season coaching.

[Hooroo]

What a splendid result. That was damn tough

Lions hot on attack and score.

Stupid mistakes are costing us big time.

Mistakes due to weariness

15 v 14

So? The Crusaders were knackered at altitude. Lions can cope with that

[Wally]

Top game. Unfortunate but fair red card. Great game plan from Robertson et al. He/they have adjusted the game plan all season. I was against Robertson's appointment but happy to admit I was completely wrong. He has revitalised the team and the Canterbury rugby public. I am very happy.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Lions. Great comeback down a man.

[Crash]

Wow just wow!! Well fucking done boys!! Right result - right team won

[Kruse]

Good to hear the crowd chanting "Lions" after a loss.

Should have put the Lions away 40-60 but didn't, then the altitude factor kicked in.

Subbing Marx screwed the Lions.

[Tordah]

I only got to watch the last 20 min and judging solely on those, the Lions should have won by 50.

[Billy Tell]

Yeah! Hats off to Robertson he subbed early unlike Boyd last week but it still just about came undone.

Crotty take a bow. Never too flash always delivers though.

After the earthquake disappointment in 11 and the Joubert error in 14 it's happy days.
