@Duluth said in Crusaders vs B&I Lions:

Early push hasn't been refereed correctly in SR. I would have thought experienced players would adjust better than this to the corrrect interpretation

This ref is incompetent. . He can't even set a scrum...

[Crash]

I don't understand this farking ref - which cereal packet did he fall out of?

[Tordah]

so if they wouldn't have reached the try line in the next two phases the Lions would have just scored after the most obvious knock on? This ref is hopeless

[KiwiMurph]

Good work by the TMO there - quick and decisive

I pretty much agree with this although that last penalty was a solid set scrum with no early push. That was a weird one.

I think Crusaders have been hard done by on 2 of the scrum penalties. Rest I wouldn't quibble with.

Watson should have pinned his ears back

[Nepia]

The Crusaders are less structured than the Blues were the other night. WTF?

[Crash]

Why is Mo'unga kicking possession away all the time

[taniwharugby]

@Crash all night, again, only just off side, but making a big difference

[antipodean]

Another aimless kick by Mounga.

[ACT Crusader]

Razor better get Drummond on

[Donsteppa]

Crusaders kicking tactically like they're in the lead....

[taniwharugby]

Watson in fornt of the kicker

Because we are down the wrong end.

[Crash]

@ACT-Crusader Even when down the right end possession is kicked away

So, assuming the Lions win this, which I'm now sure they will, what have we learned?

This ref isn't in charge, but Garces and Pointe are.
