QF - Lions v Crusaders

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

<p>Such is life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They're big and young and strong and cohesive, those Lions forwards.</p>

<p>Surely there's a better player than Macilai in Canterbury?</p>

<p>Yeah - Nadolo. Unfortunately, he's in Canterbury.  :)</p>

Love it when the commentators make fools of themselves

[JAF]

Lol. Nice try.

[Chris B.]

<p>Israel falls over and it's starting to look like a thrashing.</p>

[SammyC]

Embarrassing, fuck off to bath and take your pension Blackadder

Crusaders what a let down, just don't have the legs. Bye Blackadder.

They're acting like muppets.

[antipodean]

<p>Despite the refereeing, the Lions deserve to win this. Much better across the park. Crusaders simply have too many donkeys on the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pity the Blues were rebuilding this year under Tana, otherwise the Crusaders would have been rightly out of the finals.</p>

Love it when saffas come outta the woodwork because they might actually sniff a tiny bit of success. Only to disappear when the inevitable loss happens eh..

Lots of walking around by a couple of players since the 65-70th minute. Havili in particular.

Dagg finally gets one of his flicks to work.

[Billy Tell]

Picked this result. It all comes down to squad selection which has been generally poor by Blackadder.<br><br>
I for one look forward to a new coach.<br><br>
Lions are the only decent non-NZ side in the competition this season.

[RaGe_X]

<p>Pity about the Lions having to release some of their white players this season. Least transformed team in SA. van Rensburg though, if he doesnt get a callup he needs to head to the UK.</p>

[Damo]

Not enough sting from the Crusaders; both in defence and attack the Crusaders were just limp.

Nah we had all those matches vs the Aussie teams that gave us easy wins [emoji1]

[KiwiMurph]

Congratulations Lions - young team played very well - happy for their fans after so many years of dross.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Lions. Excellent speed at the line. That young 2nd 5 played excellent and would be my MOTM.

[antipodean]

<p>I wonder if Blackadder got the senior ABs together at the start of every year and said what have you been doing with Hansen..?</p>
