Lions their own worst enemies tonight
South African teams really love to lie down to their nz opponents. This is a home game Ffs. You have the crowd and you know the conditions better than the visiting team. Really makes me mad.

🙁
Lions were abysmal, these crusaders are a shadow of the crusaders team of the past, lions should have done a lot better
What shite , the Crusaders are really not good but the Lions ,eish,this was very bad
Lions forced passes that were not there, their line outs were terrible, the looked completely lost.
The one time I back the Lions to win, they dont 🙁
