Taken by Barrett for the Crusaders

Jantjies gets the match underway for the Lions

The sides are out on the field, kickoff is just moments away

The Crusaders host the Lions in the Final of Super Rugby, a repeat of last season. The Crusaders cruised past the Hurricanes 30-12 in their semi-final, while a brilliant second half saw the Lions fight back to run out 44-26 winners over the Waratahs. The Crusaders will be looking for back to back titles and a 9th overall, while the Lions will hope third times the charm as they are competing in their third final in a row and are yet to taste victory.

Lions are a great team but unfortunately no match for this Crusaders team.

Are Lions’ supporters brave or just plain ignorant? I see there’s a 35% Lions support on this app. I’m one of them 😜
