Sorry. Where this from?

Great that it's a full house tonight.

But let's be fair, if it wasn't that would be a piss poor effort.

@booboo think it was a pisstake, found it on ACC FB page, but given the time, is SA creation

What is that spud Williams doing on TV?

what was that Lions fella standing upright in the maul moaning about

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

@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

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

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.

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

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

Test player who doesn't know a simple law. Astonishing brain fart.

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

That last one was a pretty good kick, tbf.

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. .

@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.

How much better did they do too! Bet they keep trying for mauls though.

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

@bones a post by a SA on FB re Jantes:

Well done Elton Jantjies - throw away an entire season’s work for your team mates and your franchise with fifteen minutes of your absolute filth. Do us all a favour - disappear up your own arse and never disgrace this beautiful game ever again.

Id like to see his AB starting spot under pressure.

@taniwharugby understandable! He even knew he was doing wrong when he was trying to get away with the 22 but spazzed out and thought he could fool everyone! Please select him for the boks.

Until his injury last year he was just about ABs best player.

Marshall reading a bit into two 10 second clips of who is talking at one particular time in the sheds at half time...

@donsteppa its like when he repeated what we heard Angus say...maybe he doesnt know the ref mike goes to us too?

Mounga

Every other 10 in NZ.

Must start first test

Should have gone anyway it was that blatant

was Tamanivalu dropped onhis head?

Was that moody or franks off the ball elbow there? We'll find out in next few hours

Why hasn't Gardner shown Jantjies a YC for his stupid haircut?

Commentators seem to think that attempted grounding is much closer than it was...

Does Jantjies struggle to see white lines?

Crusaders are a machine. Lions scrum now dismantled.
