Crusaders vs B&I Lions

[Rancid Schnitzel]

I wish the Saders had played like this against the Canes.

But, the ref is utter shit. Some bizarre decisions.

Yikes, Sir JK and Mehrts paying out on the ref isn't a great look.

That pretty much sums it up for me

[taniwharugby]

Stats are much closer on pretty much everything (penalties and errors included) than it seems like.

French refs are going to fuck this whole tour. Just ridiculous that a guy like Nigel Owens isn't reffing the tests. I don't care where he is from.

[Stargazer]

Crusaders are screwed by the ref. What a fuckwitt!
Apart from the line-out, the Crusaders look better but with this ref, they're being penalised for things that shouldn't, and the Lions are not penalised for things that should be penalised. Arggh

@kiwiinmelb Crusaders are used to their tight five dominating, whereas the Blues are used to struggling a bit with that aspect.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Blues 6 and 8 are better than their Crusaders counterparts.

[taniwharugby]

How many scrums have been completed?

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Vastly superior. Blues have the best loose trio in the competition.

My nagging thought for the All Blacks is that I hate the idea of us going in with both an undercooked Kaino and Read. Especially given Read isn't going to play vs Samoa.

[Bones]

Have to say, crusaders have been poor but really hamstrung by Mounga. Having a shitter.

[Rapido]

I love this refs officiating of the off side line.

2/7 by my count and both ended in penalties

[Crash]

Just cut down on the error rate and hold onto the ball

[ACT Crusader]

Good contest.

Greasy conditions and both sides struggling. Plenty of intensity from both teams.

Feels like a test match

[Tim]

Has it been Moody who has been giving away the scrum penalties?

[taniwharugby]

@Tim nah it has been the ref!!

[gt12]

Red midfield offside

[Crash]

Wow we win one against the throw........and then kick away the possession
