Pushing before catches got to ground. I thought he had a point.

taniwharugby

@damo didnt think that was what he was shouting about, but I'll go with that.

Shut up Justin, ref called ruck, he should then take his hands off

antipodean

I still remain astonished teams double defend against Owen Franks. He falls to the ground when you touch him.

Damo

Big difference between the teams is the speed at the breakdown. For the crusaders the ball appears almost immediately, but the lions take an age to recycle.

taniwharugby

that pulling it down call is BS, that maul was splintered, not under control and the Crusaders get pinged.

antipodean

That's some great defence of the set piece by the Crusaders.

Jantes with a howler

Billy Tell

Anyone see the show on after the gane? Rugby101 with your host Elton Jantjes.

taniwharugby

MOunga!!!

If that wasnt a try, that Lions guys coulda been gone for 10 for diving off his feet

Lions backs as a unit are as creative as a concrete block. .

taniwharugby

@donsteppa well I was wondering if thier forwards had anything other than a drive, luckily they did!!

Canes better than Saders, lions only got 3 in our final

Jantjes has always been a flake.

Moody conceding penalties - bit of a common theme for him this year...

Gotta love Jantjies. His team lose so much faith in him that he doesn't even get a touch that whole period of play before their second pen.

Really dislike the bias towards the attacking team for mauls. Lions maul disintegrating with players going to ground and in the side, crusaders get penalised for collapsing the maul when two lions players break off and fall over.

Moody’s becoming a blundering oaf when it comes to dumb/foul play.
