So, the Lions in the Final against the Crusaders next weeken… in New Zealand, Christchurch.

Tall order to go there in the first place and to try and beat the reigning chams at home!!

Congrats Lions… you started slow in this game but took control and made it to the final.

Lions simply cannot afford to start slow against the Crusaders…

Kwagga Smith named Man Of The Match.

He and Malcolm Marx were simply outstanding in the game.
