Super Rugby Final 2018

[Crucial]

@shark said in Super Rugby Final 2018:

That 2003 team was actually quite divided, or at least cliquey (sp). I was living in Melbourne at the time and the couple of times I saw the ABs around and/or in pics in the paper, there was a Canterbury group, an Auckland group, and the rest.

Were the Canterbury group all passing the phone around to talk to grandad?

Head to $1.09 / $7.50

Crusaders been there all week Lions slipped from $7.00 earlier in week.

Has there been another final where one team was supposedly gonna walk it so easy before?

@taniwharugby Perfect for an insurance bet!

I don't expect the Crusaders to lose, but an early red card and the whole landscape changes.

Yep.

If I were the Lions, I'd be throwing up a lot of contestable high kicks early, and getting people up in teh air to get it. One small misjudgement, and someone cops a red. If it's you - c'est la vie. If it's the Saders, you're probably goign to win.

@nzzp will Angus want to issue a red for someone in the air after he got thrown under the bus last time?

[Siam]

Fog likelihood?

Sorry. Where this from?

[MiketheSnow]

Great that it's a full house tonight.

But let's be fair, if it wasn't that would be a piss poor effort.

[taniwharugby]

@booboo think it was a pisstake, found it on ACC FB page, but given the time, is SA creation

[mariner4life]

Pushing before catches got to ground. I thought he had a point.

[taniwharugby]

@damo didnt think that was what he was shouting about, but I'll go with that.

Shut up Justin, ref called ruck, he should then take his hands off

[antipodean]

I still remain astonished teams double defend against Owen Franks. He falls to the ground when you touch him.

[Damo]

Big difference between the teams is the speed at the breakdown. For the crusaders the ball appears almost immediately, but the lions take an age to recycle.
