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. -
Good final.
Shame about the red card in terms of a contest - correct decision.
Crusaders did enough. -
Take a bow Razor. You've had a hell of a season coaching.

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
-
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.
-
Well done Lions. Great comeback down a man.

Should have put the Lions away 40-60 but didn't, then the altitude factor kicked in.
Subbing Marx screwed the Lions.
-
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.
-
Kudos to Saders. The red card had even more impact than usual. Travel factor was always going to kick in around 60 and had Lions been within 20 might well have got there.
Not sure Crotty has lost this season. Out for Chch BI lions and Canes matches and AB second test. Decision making makes those around him play a definite notch up. -
Congratulations to the Saders, class team. To the Lions and especially to coach Akkers, thank you for bringing pride back to Johannesburg rugby. Johan Ackerman you are a class gentleman.
Not the end of the world, the sun is rising tomorrow again.
And now the Swys era starts. See you lot next year.

Another important game marred by controversy, but.
Crotty named Man-of-Match? Fucking outrageous... I had the forethought to be drinking a chilled NZ red wine... ticking all the superstitious boxes (cold like Canterbury, from NZ, and red to match Canterbury colours... although a little concerned when I remembered Lions also wear red).
But, I know that I have the moral man-of-match. And I don't begrudge Crotty his 100,000R. -
@MiketheSnow Agreed. Why sub Marx when he was dominating the game. This guy is going to be better than Birsmark and will cause us a lot of problems over the next few years.
