This is where the neutral referee & TMO would be ideal.
Nah. The right process and decision was made.
I hate these ones. Smith wasn't trying to tackle anyone, he was chasing the ball as you should. He looks up and sees Havili has taken to the air and is about to collide with him in. You could argue that Havili put himself in danger by jumping toward other players on the ground that couldn't get out of the way with his knees forward and toward their heads.
Havili was just playing the game and so was Smith. By the way things are ruled Smith was meant to anticipate that someone would take a flying leap at his head though which is silly. Rugby is a game played on your feet according to the Laws.
Sweet try under the posts.
Crotty showing the full arsenal today with the cross field kick.
What's that rubbish Taylor? Just put it through the hands or take it straight.
Good pressure defensively though. And Havili a better kick.

Love Ron know Crotty win percentage of pro games played this year.
That was meant to be 'Love to know'!!?!
Lions look a little lost in attack. Not the organised side that we have seen all year.
Fresh legs for the Saders have made an immediate impact. Drummond's quicker service is a welcome sight.
Romano doing what he does best disrupting the maul.
Last 20, the lungs will be starting to burn a bit.
Good try to the Lions. Weight of possession and filed position in the last 7-8 minutes.
Try converted 25-10 to the good guys.
@ACT-Crusader Your feed is a couple ahead of mine?

Lions hot on attack and score.
Stupid mistakes are costing us big time.
Mistakes due to weariness

Going down swinging fair play
Didn't want to "upvote or whatever" this until game was in the bag... didn't want to appear an arrogant NZ rugby fan.
But yep - good solid effort from the Lions, made a good final.
Good final.
Shame about the red card in terms of a contest - correct decision.
Crusaders did enough.

So? The Crusaders were knackered at altitude. Lions can cope with that
Top game. Unfortunate but fair red card. Great game plan from Robertson et al. He/they have adjusted the game plan all season. I was against Robertson's appointment but happy to admit I was completely wrong. He has revitalised the team and the Canterbury rugby public. I am very happy.
