To be completely fair, made two finals & were twice beaten in the semis by the eventual champions. A better record than, oh, let's just for shits & giggles say The Blues over the same time-frame :)

More importantly the match review is up:

Even more importantly it's possibly the last piece of CtuSadists propaganda you'll be able to click on this year......

Shame about the card but the ref ruled by the book and you can'y hold that against them.

Lions were bloody brave but they made some errors they probably would of got away with against another side.

Congratulations Saders on a deserved win. been the form team this year. Congratulations waiopehu oldboy.

^^^^^^^^^ I'd like to think my tipping the Lions by six unless CruSadists were up 15+ with 20 to go was the deciding factor :)

Anyhoo, Kwagga Smith's hearing is tomorrow at 8PM AEST. I'm thinking three weeks minus one for being a cleanskin.

It's basically the same 'tackle' as Jason Emery's. He got minimum six reduced to four. Anywhere 2-4 would be fine I reckon.

Who knows what the clowns at SANZAAR will cook up. Would not be bothered if he got stuff all. Letting his team down in a final is more punishment than they could possibly hand out to him.

I Still cheered the Lions all the way after the card.

Kudos to both teams and management for a wonderful game. Crusaders coach impressed Lions stayed to clap the off after the game and they were picking up water bottles. Shows the culture they have.

LIons lost their bench hooker (probably second best in the country were it not for politics) and Ackerman Jr following his dad to Gloucester. Coetzee should give the chap a cap before he is lost to England.

Congratulations to the Crusaders who are deserved champions. It is a truly devastating blow to SA rugby to have lost this final in the grand scheme of things.

Who says Christchurch's finest font have a sense of humour?*

"RECOVERED PROPERTY RETURNED HOME

"We're thrilled to report that an important item that had been taken from its home at Rugby Park, Christchurch has been found and returned to its owners. It was located in Johannesburg, South Africa over the weekend. It has been missing for about nine years. Our thanks to the concerned members of the community from the BNZ Crusaders for their efforts in recovering this item.

"It has previously been seen in Hamilton, Dunedin and Wellington and even made it over to Australia and South Africa since it was taken in 2009. But not in Auckland. Not ever in Auckland since 2009. Unless you count going through the airport on its way to other places. But other than that, like, never.
It arrived back in Christchurch last night and will be returned to its home where it will likely remain. Probably until the End of Time."

Extra credits for totally burning the Bloos.........

*other than me after a misunderstanding with two of them at 3AM on morning a few years back somewhere between the Casino & our hotel, call of nature-type situation, you know how that goes :)
