Poor option and a terrible shot from the Lions.
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.

Mounga

Every other 10 in NZ.
Must start first test

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

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

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

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.

I agree but the bigger difference is the quality of the defensive systems.

Pretty quiet game from Reid, prefer he stays out of the heavy contact stuff now and saves himself for the internationals

@hydro11 yep, how many minutes were the Crusaders defending inside 5-10m.

What a different game we'd have if players were forced to stay on their feet at rucks.
