    Poor option and a terrible shot from the Lions.

      Credit to Tamanivalu for that pick up after having made that mistake earlier.

          Crusaders pounce - Robertson will be starting to think about breakdancing.

          Lions were as ruthless as a kitten five minutes ago and it comes back to haunt them.

            I disagree. It was a very good option. You keep it close and if you miss you get the ball back. The Lions just weren't good enough to gather the loose ball.

              Great that the Lions scored because that first 13 minutes of the 2nd half was nauseating from both sides

              Woke us up

                Mounga is in some form, his gas off the mark would rival Beaudies, Crusaders so ruthless.

                  Way too wide out for a high percentage shot, and gave a team that had conceded most of the territory and possession - and done most of the recent tackling - a chance to regroup.

                  I’d have backed it if they were taking three from in front, but not that far out and that long to take the shot.

                    Not sure why you would play the game in your own 22 with a 17 point lead?

                      If DMac is picked ahead of him again it would be an absolute farce.

                        Crotty perhaps unlucky but yellow the right call.

                            Hopefully Crusaders are smart and try to kick and deep, win it back and maintain possession.

                              Handy that the Lions can’t kick the difficult goals. 30 - 23 would be a lot more nervy than 30 - 18.

                              Now about to be 37 - 18 because Crusaders.

                                @donsteppa especially when he was trying to sneak a metre or 2 in, seemed he wasnt overly confident from the outset

                                      People can disagree but that quick throw was dumb as hell. I have to be consistent and criticise when it comes off, if I am going to criticise it when it doesn't.

                                        everytime the Lions get a sniff, Crusaders strike back.

                                          Lions guilty of not reacting. Crusaders backed themselves to take the quick through with a player down, while the Lions were still on autopilot for the set piece. Difference in class between the backlines on attack is immense.
