The Lions hosted the Chiefs at Coke a cola Park, Johannesburg tonight. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game is broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. In a try fest, with both teams scoring 9 tries each, the Chiefs won 72 / 65. The Lions earned 2 Log Points from the match and the Chiefs of course earned a full 5 Log Points. Eventually it was quite comical how the tries flowed because there was just no semblance of defence from either team.
I doubt whether in history there has been such a high scoring Super 14 game, with a full 137 points scored in total!

Good luck to the Bulls and Stormers tomorrow.
