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

[valley commando]

The Crusaders don't know how to scrummage, their front row looks distinctly 2nd class.
The more Crusaders get picked for the All B's the better chance we have in the tests as we will only improve over the next 2 weeks

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Watson is so much better at 15 than Halfpenny and Hogg currently.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Watson did very well there

 

[The Jones Boy]

The Lions are playing to their strengths, set piece strength and tactical kicking for territory.
The Crusaders are being penned back and cannot get hold of the ball.
When they do there is a lack of cohesion and it's hurting them.
Farrell could kick the Crusaders into the gutter here if the Cantabs can't lift themselves.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Williams should of looked to pass it then.

yeah, try telling that to Warren....

 

[TommiG88]

We are playing like Wales with this tunnel vision. Inside pass and try

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Has Williams lost all his confidence under the high ball or something?

 

[Groundhog]

Ah that's frustrating

What a joke this reff is in the scrums.

Mathieu Raynal top man

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Watson showing to easily be our best 15, shocking from CJ

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Stander NOOOO

You where the chosen one.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I hope Payne gets a run at 15, the less Welsh back three players the better on current form.

CJ, come on...

You wont get this french reff in the first test mate. From what iv seen if the AB's actually get to set a scrum and follow through with it theres going to be lions bodies flying all over the show. They are going to get mullered in the tests.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Have crusader fans never seen linespeed before?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

CJ, come on...

Payne, Watson, North?

 

[GoTheNaki]

Haha the forward being a back, ffs that happens so much lmao.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Has North touched the ball?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Payne, Watson, North?

North has done nothing

 

[Skylinerd1]

LOL this Lions team is a bigger bunch of chokers than the AB's in 2007 against the french!!!! How many tries have these muppets bombed???
