Crusaders v Lions

Bridge didn't really do anything tonight apart from show pace for some easy run ins.

Chris

Bridge always puts himself in smart positions to run the great lines for try’s
And always covers brilliantly Awesome work rate very Ben Smith like

Stargazer

Sevu Reece is something special! Crazy speed and offloads.
I loved that Cory Jane like fend from David Havili in the lead-up to Sevu Reece's first try.
Bridge had a good comeback from injury, but still room for improvement. He can be happy with his first 65 minutes after not playing for a month.

I listened to the radio commentary and Corey Flynn had some things to say about the scrum haha. For example, the Lions were pulling back a couple of times just when the Crusaders started pushing.
Whitelock was a monster. Awesome.

Although Drummond played better than in his first few games, Hall is still miles better.
Punivai had a good debut game. Did well on defence.

Strange is playing like a bum.

Such an overrated player.

Stargazer

@akan004 He played better last year. This is just not his year, apparently.

I lived in Saderland 2000-2003.

I'll take whatever NZ team is most likely to win.

But fuck they're good.

My position is NZ teams 1 2 3 4 & 5.

And i'd really like the Blues not to be last ( this year ... )

Chris

@booboo Blues have some tough games Crusaders away and Hurricans home and away

Not a bad comparison actually. Howlett was probably my favourite player at the Blues and I see a lot of similarities in Bridge’s game to him.

They like to swerve with pace rather than step. Both run excellent lines - right place right time guys.

Gee we like a flash in a pan eh! Reece is Masaga 2.0.

Hungus Reece doesn’t have the same ring to it though.

Yeetyaah

Do you guys think Reece will stay with the Crusaders?
