Old Griquas
Huxley is a genuinely nice fellow – intelligent & funny too, amazing given that he is a convict 😯 I attended a charity function last year where he was the “host” of our table. He was surrounded by Kiws & took all the ribbing with good grace while giving as good as he got 😀
Brumbies on attack now…
Brumbies line-out in Chiefs 22…

5 – Hello Old Griquas, Jeepers that sounds hot there in Sydney for March?
We had some really hot weather here too up in Joburg this March. Bit cooler now. My daughter said March was a hottie too in Durbs. Pleased I go back down there when the humidity is less.
Anyhot gooooooooooooooo Brumbies. Have them for win on bru.
Brumbies 14 – 3
Giteau converted
Brumbies 14 / 3
Scrum Chiefs inside 22 of Brumbies
Brumbies 14 / 6
Hey RP – indeed, he is a nice fellow. I thought he was kidding himself with the notion of return, but we can never doubt the human spirit & determination. He was kicking coach for the Brumbies last year. Also good to see a professional outfit stick with someone the way the Brumbies franchise has. Excellent to see.
Penalty Chiefs right in front in side 22 of Brumbies…
Donald to kick…
Over 14 – 6 Brumbies…
Line out Brumbies in their own 22…
Turn over Chiefs
Bad passing costing Chiefs momentum…
Old Grquas
Same dinner – I found Larkham dull & Owen Finnegan rude. Huxley has the makings of an outstanding pin up boy for Australian rugby … I wonder if ONeil realises that ?
Still got it though 8 metres out…
Puma – g’day mate. Best wishes to you. Seems we’re all experiencing this hot weather.
With all this emotion around tonight, I’d expect the Brumbies to run away with the first half and be a little comatose in the second. Never discount the Chiefs revival . . .
Scrum awarded to Brumbies 8 out of their try line…
OK fellas…. keep the scores low…. I have it as Brumbies 26 / 21 for the final score….
Come on Brumbies ,get away…
Penalty Chiefs ,should take the score to 14 – 9…
