Lions v Crusaders

[Nepia]

<p>Hopefully Toddy has to chuck Taufua in at openside during the game, so he can finally make the move to a position that will get him into the ABs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then someone can claim he's too flashy to be a test 7.</p>

<p>Taufua played his best game for the Crusaders last week I reckon, he was in everything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will be (pleasantly) surprised if we win this. The lions have been the best African team I reckon, and Ellis Park is a cauldron</p>

<p>Hmmm I thought the $1.77 offered by the TAB was value.....</p>

<p>Israel Dagg back from injury this week too, playing for University on Saturday</p>

<p>Good to hear! That has been a long road to recovery for Dagg. Got injured on 24 September last year, so more than 6 months ago. Hope they can keep him in one piece during club rugby.</p>

<p>Yes very good news for the Crusaders. If Dagg can stay fit he has arguably the longest general kicking game in NZ. This will take pressure off Mo'unga and Ellis in general play. The Crusaders have been executing a territory based gameplan anyway, and he will only strengthen this.</p>

I'm not sure who's worse. The ref or the commentators. <br><br><br>

<p>How bout the groundsman? Jesus looks like they are scrumming on a beach.</p>

22 - 20 to the Crusaders at half time. <br><br><br>

<p>This is the same ref that reduced the Crusaders to 12 men last year for some time. He just loves handing out penalties and cards, preferably against the visiting teams. He's the guy that wants to put his stamp on everything, and not in a good way.</p>

2 tries to Crotty. 36-20. <br><br><br>

Easily McNicholl's best game as a Crusader. Mo'unga kicking much better too. <br>
43-27. <br><br><br>
