Commentators are right…. good scrumming so far, no scrum resets yet, 6 scrums had
Chiefs better get 2 converted tries before half time otherwise it is curtains for them.
26@ superBul:
Yip!
Now already a couple of penalties from scrums… maybe we talked the scrums up too quickly
Lack of accuracy by Chiefs are costing them big time
The high tackle law will get us talking this year, just wait for the first red card.
