Super Rugby Final 2018 Live Chat

Final just started. Lions made a break and in Crusaders 22. 

Nice break by Combrink.

LIONS need to convert that territory into points.

Yes they do.

3 Points after 12 minutes of dominance is better than nothing I guess.

0-3 after 12min

Soon to be cancelled out by the looks of things.

3-3 after 15min

How Coetzee ever was a Bok is beyond me.

Coetzee runs himself off his feet.

Little nothing offload from Whiteley there .

I'd say there is a warning light flickering for the Lions. Lions seem to struggle in the mauls.

Mosterd looks good.

Weak defence on the touchline there by Combrink. If it was a one on one he was beaten.

Tamanvulu try. Saders too Efficient and Clinical. 

And another weak tackle from Combrink.

Coetzee didn't do the Lions any favours either by charging out of the line for the inside man in the leadup to that try. That ball was always going to go wide and the inside man was well covered already.

Lions have to turn this into points.

Lions need to change their tactics. The lineout maul isn't working.

The Jantjies machine starting to sputter.

Problemo for the Lions? Scrums seems to be under pressure as well.

Bugger had to drive me Daughters out and about ,anyways good luck to the Lions and their fans same for the Crusties.

Not sure why the Lions are now kicking their possession away. Game slipping away.

Jantjies is a bit flaky for my liking .

So far the Lions simply not clinical enough. Regulation tackle missed for a try, poor offloads to players under pressure costing them territory, errors and poor kicks from Jantjies.

Why not go the try ?????

Lovely passing.

No momentum on attack. Floaty passes to static players.

Jantjies imploding big time. Seems determined to hand game to Crusaders on a platter. This must mark the end of Jantjies as an international player? He just lacks the head, erratic dec ision making

Sorry couldnt help meself!

Great break and another hasty offload goes wrong.

Haha WD. Combrink has had a shocker as well after that early break.

Mate those two passes were shockers ,peewee players would hide in shame.

Crackup Mr Sharky !

Taylor dislocated his finger ,got told to pop it back in and get going " give us a sec " says he hahaha,

Lions need to get their self belief back by scoring early in the second half. You can see the doubt in everything they did in the last 20 minutes of that half after the lineout mauls failed. Otherwise it's going to be a long and ugly 40 minutes for them.

I dislocated my fingers a few years ago fishing of the rocks ,pushed it back into place because there was a rally good run of tayler [ bluefish] Bloke fishing next to me had a look at my finger bent backwards and went white as a sheet.

If the bite s on ya gotta keep going.

Saders defense and smarts are winning this game as far as I can tell.

Radio commentary ; 'Jantjies is freezing under the headlights of the final.'

Saders slowly building the lead. Lions are going to have to score soon. Jantijies having a poor game.
