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

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.

Should have put the Lions away 40-60 but didn't, then the altitude factor kicked in.
Subbing Marx screwed the Lions.
I only got to watch the last 20 min and judging solely on those, the Lions should have won by 50.
Yeah! Hats off to Robertson he subbed early unlike Boyd last week but it still just about came undone.
Crotty take a bow. Never too flash always delivers though.
After the earthquake disappointment in 11 and the Joubert error in 14 it's happy days.
Kudos to Saders. The red card had even more impact than usual. Travel factor was always going to kick in around 60 and had Lions been within 20 might well have got there.
Not sure Crotty has lost this season. Out for Chch BI lions and Canes matches and AB second test. Decision making makes those around him play a definite notch up.
Congratulations to the Saders, class team. To the Lions and especially to coach Akkers, thank you for bringing pride back to Johannesburg rugby. Johan Ackerman you are a class gentleman.
Not the end of the world, the sun is rising tomorrow again.
And now the Swys era starts. See you lot next year.
Another important game marred by controversy, but.
Crotty named Man-of-Match? Fucking outrageous... I had the forethought to be drinking a chilled NZ red wine... ticking all the superstitious boxes (cold like Canterbury, from NZ, and red to match Canterbury colours... although a little concerned when I remembered Lions also wear red).
But, I know that I have the moral man-of-match. And I don't begrudge Crotty his 100,000R.
@MiketheSnow Agreed. Why sub Marx when he was dominating the game. This guy is going to be better than Birsmark and will cause us a lot of problems over the next few years.
Congratulations Crusaders. Best team all year. Razor did a magnificent job in his first season - what a coaching record he has!
Crotty deserving man of the match - sensational.
Good season Lions - fought back well. Ackermann turned the franchise around - an amazing effort.

For a sell-out there are a lot of empty seats
I've seen shitloads of tweets and FB posts where they were handing them out like candy! Someone ( sponsors?) must have bought a big lot of tickets and haven't been able to get people to use them, I guess.
