Crusaders v Lions

[KiwiMurph]

Good to see a halfback criticised when a maul gets turnover. Drummond found wanting there.

[98blueandgold]

Is Douglas a WC option? playing so much better than Read. seriously!

[African Monkey]

@98blueandgold No.

[gt12]

Crotty off.

Smith got fucking bounced by Reece.

[antipodean]

Still laughing at the footage of the Lions #8 going flying backwards.

[Dice]

Reece is insanely good on attack.

[98blueandgold]

@African-Monkey You sure :)?

[Steven Harris]

Is the trouble that Sevu Reece got himself into with his partner last year along with his offshore contract being torn up spell good news for NZ rugby moving forward..quick,can step,got offload factor ,can tackle and man alive is strong with ball in hand..close to the full package..

[Dice]

Strange is playing like a bum.

He's thrown his lot in with Fiji already hasn't he?

[taniwharugby]

@MajorRage Crusaders and Waikato no longer part of NZR?

International honours I mean. Sure I remember reading somewhere him wanting to play for Fiji if the opportunity was to arise.

[Stargazer]

@MajorRage He hasn't played for Fiji (yet).

[Steven Harris]

@MajorRage has’nt Played for Fiji yet.my bet is he will throw in his lot with NZ rugby

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer mind reader you..lol

[Chris B.]

Crusaders a bit untidy at times - coming off the bye with a few combination changes.

No.1 front row struggling with the Lions in the scrum - we probably need a few more points before the No.3 front row arrives!

There’s big questions about his defence. He’s been fine in this game, but has been inaccurate this season.
That follows on from shockers at npc level (7 misses in a single game last year)

[Steven Harris]

@Duluth I will cut him slack based on his age, but defence definitely a work on

[antipodean]

Absolutely beautiful set piece try.

[antipodean]

Length of the field try and Bridge has two in as many minutes.
