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.
He drove in and up, not straight and flat.

If the Lions put a try away here it's a long way back for the Saders.
-
how did the AR miss the Lions hand play that on the ground 1m away?

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
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.

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

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

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

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
-
I'm disappointed with some of the ref's calls, but the Crusaders are their second worst enemy (the Lions are playing well).
Fucking turnovers, no fucking lineout, and can't catch a kick off.
If they just hold the ball and sort out their set piece, they'll win this. If not, well played Lions.
Definitely Farrell at 10, although naturally I prefer Sextoon
-
The Crusaders haven't handled the step up in pressure very well. They've been slow learners with the ref and made poor tactical decisions on top of uncharacteristic mistakes. Surprising to pass up those three points in the context of the match.
Ref is a pain in the arse but he's been a consistent pain in the arse. One team seems to have figured it out better than the other...

That attack had Howley written all over it.
Shitter than shit.
Almost wanted the Crusaders to go the length of the field.Forwards going well, but predictable. Faletau the exception.
Great to see Murray getting back to his best. Barring injury he and Farrell are 9 and 10.
Te'o and Davies working well together.
Watson is no fullback, so with Stuart 'Mr Glass' Hogg off, get Liam Williams to 15 and wrap Halfpenny in cotton wool.
You feel that at any moment the Crusaders can break this game open. The same can't be said for the Lions.
