10-0 now, Lions screwed thee with a bullshit offside call.

saders looking to run it...

Should be a penalty there - forward runners taking out would be tacklers..

Good to see a halfback criticised when a maul gets turnover. Drummond found wanting there.

Is Douglas a WC option? playing so much better than Read. seriously!

Crotty off.

Smith got fucking bounced by Reece.

Still laughing at the footage of the Lions #8 going flying backwards.

Reece is insanely good on attack.

Is the trouble that Sevu Reece got himself into with his partner last year along with his offshore contract being torn up spell good news for NZ rugby moving forward..quick,can step,got offload factor ,can tackle and man alive is strong with ball in hand..close to the full package..

Strange is playing like a bum.

He's thrown his lot in with Fiji already hasn't he?

International honours I mean. Sure I remember reading somewhere him wanting to play for Fiji if the opportunity was to arise.

Stargazer

@MajorRage He hasn't played for Fiji (yet).

@MajorRage has’nt Played for Fiji yet.my bet is he will throw in his lot with NZ rugby

Crusaders a bit untidy at times - coming off the bye with a few combination changes.

No.1 front row struggling with the Lions in the scrum - we probably need a few more points before the No.3 front row arrives!

There’s big questions about his defence. He’s been fine in this game, but has been inaccurate this season.
That follows on from shockers at npc level (7 misses in a single game last year)
