Fuck right off... how does an international ref get away with such bs

Crazy call, Lions front row pop up and go backwards and... get a penalty.

[Mattasaurus]

@MiketheSnow fake news at best mike

[Toddy]

Looked like the Crusader prop was angling in.

[taniwharugby]

North was onside for a change!

He drove in and up, not straight and flat.

[Virgil]

This ref is shit
He's not doing the tests is he?

[No Quarter]

If the Lions put a try away here it's a long way back for the Saders.

[taniwharugby]

how did the AR miss the Lions hand play that on the ground 1m away?

[gt12]

Well, it's really the crusaders fault for not making the game 6-9 when they had the chance

It's a good Lions team

[gt12]

Goodhue offside at three rucks in a row

[Crash]

@gt12 Yes but for a couple of positional changes this is a shadow test team

Yup, they're improving every game. They're not going to blow anyone off the park with a flurry of tries, but they will be far from easybeats in the tests IMO.

Fair enough.

[KiwiMurph]

Could not believe Whitelock didnt take the scrum under the posts.

Dagg the best Crusader.

[Bones]

Goodhue has been a defensive machine.

Crusaders getting away with a fair bit of offside on phase play.

[Wreck Diver]

boot change for all Crusader players please. Its as if you haven't played on this surface before.

[kiwiinmelb]

Crusaders the best team in Nz , but I do wonder if their game style kinda suits the lions a bit , a bit closer to what they are used to

[Crash]

Crusaders being very un-Crusader like so far

I know! Havili with loads of space and only Sexton to beat, hits the turf in fear.

[taniwharugby]

good passage of defence there, Crusaders probably lucky there, could be a dozen more behind.

If they can string some phases together and hold onto the ball they shold be fine, but they are making things really hard for themselves at the moment
