Crusaders vs B&I Lions

[Crash]

Really the Saders have been poor tonight

[taniwharugby]

excellent, another scrum...purists must be lapping this shit up...

[Duluth]

Early push hasn't been refereed correctly in SR. I would have thought experienced players would adjust better than this to the corrrect interpretation

The French game is basedbon a strong srummage, and a scrummaging contest. The French refs are precise / pedantic about this aspect of the game.

The Lions have responded to his requests, tge Crusaders haven't

Get Drummond on now. Hall's box kicks and passing is killing us.

Good Lions team. The tests will be interesting. That's good news.

Fuck the Crusaders have been bad, but much of that comes from poor tactics and a shit set piece.

Looks like the Lions have scored.

This ref is incompetent. . He can't even set a scrum...

[Crash]

I don't understand this farking ref - which cereal packet did he fall out of?

[Tordah]

so if they wouldn't have reached the try line in the next two phases the Lions would have just scored after the most obvious knock on? This ref is hopeless

[KiwiMurph]

Good work by the TMO there - quick and decisive

I pretty much agree with this although that last penalty was a solid set scrum with no early push. That was a weird one.

I think Crusaders have been hard done by on 2 of the scrum penalties. Rest I wouldn't quibble with.

[MiketheSnow]

Watson should have pinned his ears back

[Nepia]

The Crusaders are less structured than the Blues were the other night. WTF?

[Crash]

Why is Mo'unga kicking possession away all the time

[taniwharugby]

@Crash all night, again, only just off side, but making a big difference

[antipodean]

Another aimless kick by Mounga.
