QF - Lions v Crusaders

[antipodean]

<p>Nice cut, draw and pass to take the game beyond doubt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully the Springboks have a lot of these Lions players.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

Cracking try that.

That was just fucked. Even if you know someone is there and calling, that's a shit pass to attempt. To do it without looking? Moronic. <br><br>
Great cover tackle McNicholl. Then a great kick receive. Havili is quite the mixed bag eh.

[gt12]

Well, with luck Chiefs will win and we'll get a chance for revenge.<br><br>
On the other hand, this Lions side can scores points, kick goals, and has a great set piece. Good on them.

[Chris B.]

<p>Not good enough - thanks for coming.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

Crap call

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

<p>Such is life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They're big and young and strong and cohesive, those Lions forwards.</p>

<p>Surely there's a better player than Macilai in Canterbury?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah - Nadolo. Unfortunately, he's in Canterbury.  :)</p>

Love it when the commentators make fools of themselves

[JAF]

Lol. Nice try.

[Chris B.]

<p>Israel falls over and it's starting to look like a thrashing.</p>

[SammyC]

Embarrassing, fuck off to bath and take your pension Blackadder

Crusaders what a let down, just don't have the legs. Bye Blackadder.

<br>
They're acting like muppets.

[antipodean]

<p>Despite the refereeing, the Lions deserve to win this. Much better across the park. Crusaders simply have too many donkeys on the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pity the Blues were rebuilding this year under Tana, otherwise the Crusaders would have been rightly out of the finals.</p>

Love it when saffas come outta the woodwork because they might actually sniff a tiny bit of success. Only to disappear when the inevitable loss happens eh..

Lots of walking around by a couple of players since the 65-70th minute. Havili in particular.

Dagg finally gets one of his flicks to work.

[Billy Tell]

Picked this result. It all comes down to squad selection which has been generally poor by Blackadder.<br><br>
I for one look forward to a new coach.<br><br>
Lions are the only decent non-NZ side in the competition this season.
