Crusaders vs B&I Lions

@Tim

He's looked better than Dagg in the two games ha has played.

I think the value of an sbw type to break up their defencive pattern becomes more evident after tonight's game

[gt12]

@kiwiinmelb

And crotty plays that role. Just because he's white, doesn't means he can't bend the line

With Dagg and Jules both out of form it'll be interesting to see who they go with on the wings.

[Tim]

@kiwiinmelb yep I am laughing at the idea that Crotty should be picked ahead SBW. Complete idiocy.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Lions. Played good.

Hard luck Saders. Hopefully a lot of lessons for some of our younger players. Some decent stuff but plenty of rubbish.

[MiketheSnow]

I don't know what Howley's laughing about. Farrell yes.

Great defensive line speed, structure and most importantly realignment.

[Tim]

@No-Quarter James Lowe is a better wing than Dagg and Savea.

[Mattasaurus]

No scrum penalties now?

[gt12]

@Tim

By the way, not what I was saying. I'm talking about his role at the Crusaders

[Bones]

Lions much better. Points more to them just using the first two games to get used to being out there together and absorb some kiwi rugby.

But crusaders an absolute bag of shit. Embarrassing for the most part, made it look like the first preseason game.

Some off the wall reffing, but crusaders could've easily got into the game.

[kiwiinmelb]

Well done lions , end of the day , it's good for the tour that they aimed up

[Crash]

Well that was a complete and utter fucking shambles

[gt12]

Well done Lions!

Tests will be interesting!

[taniwharugby]

wtf...you cant lose the game, but you just kick it out, see a NZ team in that situation would have had a crack

[Rapido]

Well done Lions.

Incredible aggressive defensive display. Excellent kicking game, and excellent chase.

Tour is saved.

[taniwharugby]

Well done LIons, just what your tour group needed!!

They're here to win, not entertain. The Crusaders couldn't figure that out in front of the posts in the first half.

[Mokey]

Crusaders backs absolute dire shit. The forwards held their own, but backs had nothing on attack. Shocking mistakes, poor ball handling and passing. Lions fully deserved to win, although the hurricanes and chiefs with far superior back lines will be licking their lips.

[taniwharugby]

@Donsteppa they had already won, and scored 2 tries in 3 games...
