Lions tour of New Zealand 2017

[BoyBrumby]

Not a great couple of minutes for Stu Hogg there. Spurns an overlap and then cops a proper elbow from his halfback.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not great game management from Canterbury there. Spurned the gimme penalty and stuff up the lineout.

Best half of rugby from the Lions by streets.

Farell's kicks to find touch are on point.

French ref all over the place and Crusaders/ABs will need to adjust

 

[Howe_zat]

Been a half of test match nous from the Lions. Couple of chances created too, but the passing needs more drilling it seems.

This Crusaders defence is just awesome.

He's been consistent. Wants a square hit and The Crusaders are pushing at an angle. Franks has been boring into Mako's shoulder all night.

This bridge guy on the left wing can't catch for ****.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Super counter ruck from Canterbury there.

This bridge guy on the left wing can't catch for ****.

Think he swallows it against North. Not exactly an even match.

He is normally better than that....

Lions bossing this but only a 6 point difference...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Sensible from the Lions there. Leave with points.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Super work from Faletau there. Another quietly effective performance.

 

[StephenZA]

Enjoyed that game. Far better performance from the Lions starting to gel. Well done.

But whatever the Crusaders are only a franchise superrugby team that the Lions have still failed to score a try against. Saying that I think this Crusaders team could beat the Springboks.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Powerful performance from the pack and good game management. Simple as.

***ton looks a much better player with another distributer outside him too, doesn't he? Just sayin'...

 

[Howe_zat]

Massive improvement in defence is the encouraging thing. Keeping this Crusaders team to 3 points is putting in a real shift.

Not all sunshine - they dropped 2 tries.

Faz with a top 80 minutes

 

[Howe_zat]

Watson holding his hand up as a 15 is interesting. If Hogg's not fit I'd be game.

McGeechan and Fitzgerald made the point in the studio that Gatland might have possibly stumbled into two potential solutions. Watson at fullback and Farrell outside ***ton.

If Davies, J's concussion is a bad one we could have seen the Lions 10, 12 and 13 today.

Impressive win. Crusaders are the best side in Super Rugby at the moment.

Me back ahead in the sweep thanks to Watson.

Vogue the biggest scorer for the match.

Unless I'm missing an update, Marcuss is over 20 points ahead?
