Jacko is bottling everything. Having a mare. 2 clear popped scrums - no penalty. Staniforth through the middle - told to let it go. No fucking idea.

Yeah, his interpretation of rucks is a bit wild. Lions definitely better, but a few dubious steals where not on feet.

Tahs have run out of puff. Too many poor errors. Gifting ball back to the Lions far too often when they get on attack. Jackson was beyond awful. How he gets big games is beyond me.

So Wacko Jacko is just doin this part time for a little extra cash on the side right?

He fucked plenty up, but the one that got me was the quick throw which went about 2 metres. Someone tell the bloke it's supposed to go 5. Can't get fundamentals like that wrong in a semi.

Anyway, Lions didn't do all the dumb things that we did and that's why they didn't lose.

Last three weeks have really vindicated my low opinion of Fitzpatrick. Never seen a semi-final match thrown away so easily by one player.

Marx jackalling style is dodgy as all hell as well. Tackle assists have to release too right? Lions tacklers didn't release once all night unless specifically directed to.

Has anyone cared less about a Super Rugby final ever? repeat of last year and the result will be exactly the same. Minus another 10% from next years already dismal crowds.

There is no doubt the Lions were better. Tahs gave away good attacking ball far too many times. Breakdown work was pretty inaccurate. Too many tackles fallen off too. But someone explain how a popped THP and a hooker standing up are not straight penalties? I said it pre-game but Jackson does not have the bottle to manage a big game. Random, inconsistent and just plain mystifying at times. He hurts my eyes to watch.

Pretty bad for the game too, really. Try explaining that match to a casual observer. You'd have to write an essay.

Had high hopes when Tahs went out to 14-0.
Felt that after the could have/should have game against Saders, Tahs deserved another crack at them.

Yep Jackson rubbish ref performance and sadly would say nothing new there but lions too good as tahs out of puff and bench just failed to really provide the impact.

Maybe because people who actually know what refs are meant to do select the refs and not posters on the internet?? C'mon fellas I know Aus teams are never beaten without refs being bad, but I didn't think Jackson was bad. Don't rate refs on what you hear the commentators say!! because sure as shit if you can see what causes scrums to be popped etc on tv better than a ref standing next to it , you should be at least a TMO!!

I personally thought it was a brilliant game of rugby Tahs went well but were pretty well beaten from the 20 minute mark. That is a very good Lions team.

Yep, started brilliantly but we're treading water as the game went on. The card was the final straw. They were brave to hang in there for so long, but poor execution let them down. Well done Lions, good luck next week

When the guy's head comes up and out of the scrum, it's a pretty good sign he was popped. And I don't go by what the commentators say, I use my eyes.
