Crusaders v Lions match thread

bilston

Good kick by Farrell.

Kanrith

Sexton playing well so far.

Quiet game from furlong by his standards

Doesn't matter. He has murdered them in the scrum.

Blessed there.

Awful tackling from Farrell and Murray (I think).

Was Farrell's channel, Murray attempted an ankle tap.

BBDBB

Hand injury for Murray doesn't look good

irishbucsfan

Very poor from farrell there, that's 7 points against the kiwis every time

Tigerandahalf

Crusaders backrow are anonymous. Offering nothing at the breakdown.

Yeah saw that on the replay. First look I just saw him dive in

irishman86

Furlong angry at something

Farrell's line kicking has been really really good.

DDC1990

Cccccccjjjj coming on.

Crowd booing but how stupid can you be to give 4 early engagement penalties?

That logic just doesn't make sense, Barnes. Crusaders are the only team that have shown outright dominance in the scrum, so why would they constantly be penalised?

irishbucsfan

This referee is biased against teams who can't scrummage!

irishman86

That would be my test front row. George will be Englands starting hooker by August

DDC1990

Knock on early I think

Some of Murray's passing is very high

BBDBB

Forward?

dregin

Just off the blower to Ryle Nugent and he says he has it on good authority that Liam Williams took extensive lessons in the way of the GAA from Tommy Bowe during Tommy's time in Wales.

irishman86

Easy call

No doubts there

Tigerandahalf

Watson looking very good at full back. Offering a real threat and can offload.

Crowd letting the ref know the Lion's are all offside.

And again.

Ref not interested.

seanhynes

Dreadful you've got to be converting that into a try

irishman86

Oh CJ

DDC1990

****!

Butchered between Johnny and CJ

Butterfingers

Stander had the best chance of the game there.

Gbear

I was expecting a lot more with the ball in hand from the supposed best club team in the world.

Mako has played really well.

Has been the best fb by a distance for me. Williams is horrible under the high ball

They look like they are keeping their powder dry tbh. Especially in the set piece.

irishbucsfan

Lions defense looking better and better. POM Having a great game

Nothing wrong with Sexton there.

DDC1990

17 from the Crusaders didn't even try to go straight there.

Just crumpled in.

Crowd in Christchurch not capable of understanding a team with aggressive line speed

It doesn't matter which front 3 the crusaders have, the Lion's tighthead collapses. Coincidence? Coaching?

Another poor mistake from PoM, mixing the good with the bad.

They were well offside twice before the Lion's butchered their try.

NZ commentators saying Crusaders dominating at scrum

bobbyss

Anyone know if this game is shown again or highlights later on mainstream channels? I don't have sky or anything like that. Just regular channels.

seanhynes

Quality kick Murray

dregin

Murray you BEAUT!

From my point of view, they are. They just aren't according to the ref. I don't think the Crusaders have gone backwards once, have they?
