QF - Lions v Crusaders

[antipodean]

<p>Seriously Joubert.</p>

[gt12]

Seriously???

[Chris B.]

<p>How many times is de Klerk allowed to knock the ball down, before he gets penalized - let alone carded?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's four now.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

This is better. Just be patient and the gaps will appear. <br><br>
Good offloading and support play.

[Tordah]

<p>De Klerk seems to have made that his tactic ever sine the Boks vs Ireland game when he basically won them the game like that. Joubert not having his best outing, though he's been consistently mediocre since about 2015.</p>

So long as he doesn't swim around a maul, then he's fucking gone!

[broughie]

<p>Think the commentators are right.  If the Lions go into their shell this will let the Crusaders back in it.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

Unlucky Dagg. Good chase. Lions don't want to play with the ball. We need to make them pay

[gt12]

That back pass was a mile forward?

[gt12]

Another one now

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

<p>Lions drop goal - ouch!</p>

[gt12]

Forward passes are ok now? There was at least 2 in the lead up to that play?<br><br>
Lions get a penalty advantage and take 3 (great fucking drop pie) and Saders are back in the shit.

[KiwiMurph]

That Van Rensburg is a beast.

[KiwiMurph]

Thats not the first shit pass Dagg has thrown...

[Chris B.]

<p>Israel needs to calm down and stop trying for the miracle play.</p>

<p>Without a miracle play the Crusaders have a long flight home...</p>

[gt12]

Lions are good. Saders really don't have much to bother them,dso they? Not much at set piece, and not much around the field.

[KiwiMurph]

Boks really need to get a lot of these Lions in the squad.

<p>I think they also need for of the Lions philosophy.  I think the Lions are the closest to a NZ team and we seem to be winning everything with our style of attack and positivity.</p>

[antipodean]

<p>That's a try.</p>
