          Crusaders vs Lions and there's apparently no thread for this "Clash of the Titans"?

          Crusaders: David Havili, Seta Tamanivalu, Jack Goodhue, Ryan Crotty, George Bridge, Mitchell Hunt, Bryn Hall, Jordan Taufua, Matt Todd, Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, Sam Whitelock, Scott Barrett, Michael Alaalatoa, Codie Taylor, Tim Perry. Reserves: Ben Funnell, Wyatt Crockett, Oliver Jager, Quinten Strange, Tom Sanders, Mitchell Drummond, Mike Delany, Manasa Mataele.

          Lions

          15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Sylvian Mahuza, 13 Lionel Mapoe, 12 Harold Vorster, 11 Madosh Tambwe, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Dillon Smit, 8 Hacjivah Dayimani, 7 Cyle Brink, 6 Kwagga Smith, 5 Franco Mostert (captain), 4 Andries Ferreira, 3 Ruan Dreyer, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Dylan Smith

          Substitutes: 16 Corne Fourie, 17 Jacques van Rooyen, 18 Jacobie Adriaanse, 19 Lourens Erasmus, 20 Marvin Orie, 21 Marnus Schoeman, 22 Howard Mnisi, 23 Shaun Reynolds

          Crusaders still missing half a dozen ABs, but sounds like the Lions have a few injury concerns of their own. Van Rensberg and Cronje notable absentees.

          I'm a bit disappointed we're not getting a showdown with the Lions in Christchurch, but mainly I'm sticking with the thought of keeping touch in the NZ conference, while awaiting the return of the big guns.

            Merged.. It had dropped down the page. No one chatting about it because the Lions have been a bit crap?

                  @stargazer Jeez, like that's a new plan! I'm sure the Saders will have prepared for that accordingly.

                    Anyone else watching this? Saders missed some early points, and right now it’s pretty messy.

                      Dreadful miss at an attempted PG by Hunt.
                      Still 0-0 in the 11th minute

                                Lions in. That looked pretty easy.

                                Don’t see any blue jerseys.

                                    Saders in but might be forward. Looked ok from the hands.

                                      @shadowtrooper I think you mean Brian.

                                      Why on earth did Hunt pass that? He was basically over the line.

                                        Why the fuck is every single try checked by the TMO?

                                            Typical South African stich up job. How can their referees be so unashamedly biased

                                                Saders aren’t helping themselves

                                                They look like they are trying to score on every phase, pushing some bad passes

                                                  That was a mile forward, how is he trying to plead his case with that one?

                                                      Is that 3 against Perry, btw? If so, he must be close to worrying about yellow.

                                                      I didn’t dream him getting called up to the ABs, did I?

                                                          How many steps does Hunt need before kicking? It’s like Riverdance out there.

                                                            Is the rugby ball unfamiliar to them? Have they substituted it for the Kookabura ball perhaps?

                                                                          Who the fuck said Perry could scrum?

                                                                          When you're a prop and can't seem to survive on your feet longer than the "e" in "set", you might want to take a look at your technique.

                                                                          Crotty clearly not better than Laumape, must be injured right?

                                                                          Still thoroughly perplexed as to why Hunt passed the ball when he was one stride from falling over the try line with no defender in front of him.

                                                                          I feel the crusaders would be performing a LOT better with a different 1, 9, 10.

                                                                            Hunt has possibly cost the Saders 17 points .. those 2 unnecessary forward passes could have been tries. Missed penalty kick.
                                                                            Perry can't scrum.

                                                                            Crotty, Taufua, Havili and Sam Whitelock playing very well though.

                                                                            They need to up their game. Difficult at altitude, but they are better than this.
