Warm Up Match 3: Crusaders v British & Irish Lions (Christchurch)

[Groundhog]

Warbs could struggle to make the test side, backrow and Murray are responsible for the improvement!

Can't forget Faz. He's been very good that last kick aside.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Where are these refs coming from....

 

[Stumpy]

Crusaders scrum is about as strong and stable as the Conservative government

 

[HenryChinaski]

strange penalty, not a set scrum.

This is going as I expected in my first post. The Lions are nullifying one of the Crusaders main strengths, their forward pack.

The Crusaders would not be top of the tree in NZ if the other NZ sides had equally strong packs.

 

[TommiG88]

That's Hogg's game.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Who's our 23?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Got to say
6) POM
7) SOB
8) TF

20) CJS


Would be my test back row currently.

Not really, a couple bad kicks and one incisive pass. Centres haven't been brought into the game.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Ahhhhh Watson. Him or Williams at 15?

Edit: Watson

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Watson at 15 I hope Eddie jones is watching.

 

[Groundhog]

Hogg getting hit in the face is like a renaissance painting

 

[HenryChinaski]

Where are these refs coming from....

How do you have 500 posts on a rugby forum where you don't know the rules?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Dat scrum.

 

[TommiG88]

What are the crusaders doing? Enjoy winning the scrum but acting like kids...

I also expect complacency there from the Lions.

 

[Bluemoon]

Got to say
6) POM
7) SOB
8) TF

20) CJS


Would be my test back row currently.

I like this, but I think we are more likely to see TF, SOB and CJS with JT and Itoje (covering SR and BR) on the bench.

Well they proved me wrong there

 

[Groundhog]

Win one scrum and start a scrap. Good lads.

The Lions dont like it up em when it comes to scrums. The Crusaders just sent a message to the REFF big time
