Come on Chiefs !!! I bought 3 pairs of expensive shoes this week & need to pay for them 😉

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 😀

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.

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 ?

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 . . .
