Crusaders vs B&I Lions

gt12

Havili only really plays one position well - at Super Level. The Saders have missed him and Dagg at the back.

I still think they should have used a different midfield.

No Quarter

Dagg looks shit this year.

I'm actually thinking Ioane on the right wing is our best option.

NMS is fit again too, but not selected. Instead they picked Jordie?

WTF...this is a shambles

Great score line ... good for the tour. ..but seriously incompetent officiating

Tim

@gt12 NMS needs to play a lot more games yet.

Almost as incompetent as the Crusaders backline...

Tim

@No-Quarter Nanai baby.

Bones

What the fucking fuck. Who swapped the Crusaders for the blues with crusaders masks?

gt12

He's looked better than Dagg in the two games ha has played.

I think the value of an sbw type to break up their defencive pattern becomes more evident after tonight's game

gt12

And crotty plays that role. Just because he's white, doesn't means he can't bend the line

No Quarter

@Tim

He's looked better than Dagg in the two games ha has played.

With Dagg and Jules both out of form it'll be interesting to see who they go with on the wings.

Tim

@kiwiinmelb yep I am laughing at the idea that Crotty should be picked ahead SBW. Complete idiocy.

ACT Crusader

Well done Lions. Played good.

Hard luck Saders. Hopefully a lot of lessons for some of our younger players. Some decent stuff but plenty of rubbish.

MiketheSnow

I don't know what Howley's laughing about. Farrell yes.

Great defensive line speed, structure and most importantly realignment.

Tim

@No-Quarter James Lowe is a better wing than Dagg and Savea.

Mattasaurus

No scrum penalties now?

gt12

By the way, not what I was saying. I'm talking about his role at the Crusaders

Bones

Lions much better. Points more to them just using the first two games to get used to being out there together and absorb some kiwi rugby.

But crusaders an absolute bag of shit. Embarrassing for the most part, made it look like the first preseason game.

Some off the wall reffing, but crusaders could've easily got into the game.
