Saturday.The Crusaders weren’t seriously in trouble despite the Stormers
comeback, and the title-holders continued their unbeaten start to the season to
top the New Zealand conference.Winger George Bridge, hooker Corey Taylor,
flanker Billy Harmon and scrumhalf Bryn Hall scored tries as the record
eight-time Super Rugby winners made a spectacular beginning against a Stormers
side which struggled at first in set-pieces.The Lions scored six converted tries
and were also awarded a penalty try in Pretoria, winning 49-35 in a reality
check for the Bulls, who opened their tournament with a morale-boosting win over
the Hurricanes.The Bulls and Lions were at 21-21 early in the second half before
the Lions relied on their forward dominance to crush the Bulls’ hopes. Hooker
Malcolm Marx powered over, the Bulls conceded a penalty try, and winger Sylvian
Mahuza and scrumhalf Ross Cronje went in.That run of four tries, and two yellow
cards for the Bulls in quick succession

the Bulls.New South Wales continued their trend of late escapes with a try in
the final five minutes by replacement Mitch Short in a 24-24 draw at the Sharks.
Flyhalf Bernard Foley converted from near the touchline to level the scores.The
Sharks scored three tries, two to center Lukhanyo Am, but the Waratahs kept
coming back, with Jake Gordon and captain Michael Hooper going over before a
break down the left side saw Short squeeze in for the late try.Last week, New
South Wales also scored right at the death to beat the Stormers.Winger Jack
Maddocks grabbed three tries as the Melbourne Rebels beat the Sunwolves 37-17 in
Tokyo, starting the season with back-to-back wins for the first time.The

minutes of the second half, testing the mettle of the home team.The Crusaders
responded with tries to winger Seta Tamanivalu and flyhalf Richie Mo’unga to

record in 12 matches against the Stormers in Christchurch.They also increased to
13 matches their winning streak at home against all teams from outside New
Zealand.The Crusaders took a bonus point for winning by seven tries to
four

losing finalists to the Crusaders last season, were ultimately convincing in
their Johannesburg-Pretoria derby against the Bulls to start their season with
three wins from three.In Tokyo, Melbourne and the Sunwolves were locked at 10-10
at halftime but the Rebels, following their 45-19 win over the Queensland Reds
last weekend, scored 27 second-half points to complete a convincing victory.The
Hurricanes improved steadily after a halting first-half performance to post
their first win, taking a bonus point from a 34-9, five tries to nil win over
the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.The Hurricanes were desperate for a win after a
shock 21-19 loss to the Bulls in Pretoria last weekend. First-half tries to
winger Ben Lam and center Ngani Laumape gave the Hurricanes an unconvincing 12-6
lead at halftime, as they struggled with a shaky scrum and handling errors.The
Jaguares closed to 12-9 with a third penalty to Nicolas Sanchez.That shook the
Hurricanes into life and they scored further tries to Matt Proctor and Vince

added a superb late try to Blade Thompson. Now that the 2018 season is over for
30 of 32 NFL teams, one common exercise during the offseason is to revisit the
draft. It hasn’t even been a full year since the Detroit Lions took Frank Ragnow
with the 20th overall pick. But knowing what we know now, would the Lions have
gone a different way if given the gift of hindsight? That’s what ESPN looked to
find out with their 2018 NFL re-draft. Analysts for every team re-drafted based
on the team’s needs and what we know about the rookie class now. Interestingly
enough, Michael Rothstein didn’t change positions for the Lions’ pick, but did
change the player. With the 20th overall pick, Rothstein re-drafted Giants guard
Will Hernandez to the Lions, who ended up going 34th overall in the actual 2018
draft.In terms of efficiency, both Hernandez and Ragnow had similar rookie
years. Hernandez finished with a 65.8 PFF grade, while Ragnow graded out at
61.9. Hernandez was a little better at pass blocking

going to the Bengals, who were reportedly interested in drafting Ragnow in real
life. Lions general manager Bob Quinn talked with Tori Petry on the importance
of the Senior Bowl and where the team is at in their draft process: Niners
Nation has a really good recap of Day 1 from the Senior Bowl, and while it has a
spin on the 49ers’ needs, there’s some useful information for Lions fans, too.
Speaking of the Senior Bowl, the Lions will be meeting with small-school edge
defender John Cominsky out of Charleston on Wednesday. Pro Football Focus is
apparently giving out hardware now, and Damon Harrison Sr. finally got himself
some well-deserved postseason honors: The Detroit Lions have the third-worst
odds (100:1) to win the 2020 Super Bowl
Darius Slay Jersey , tied with the Cardinals, Bills, Bengals, Broncos, Jets and Raiders. Only Washington (150:1) and Miami (300:1) have worse odds. Here’s the
