@ superBul:
ek het chiefs on te wen by 15
i had the lions to win by 3 👿
gaatie weer die leeus pick nie , damn hulle kos my nou al baie punte
must say i am nervous for the sharks game. that first match on tour is always more difficult
32@ sharky_forever:
I’ll back the Lions against teams like the Force and Rebels (if they play them at all)…. but I’ll be hesitant to back them otherwise, for now.
@ grootblousmile:
yeah i agree mate , they seem to have fallen back to last years helter skelter , defence non existent
Chiefs 19 / 3
jantjies basically again last night cost them the game
he makes a lot of poor desicions
try chiefs
I picked the Blues by 6 , just dont trust the Lions game plan, and the way the Blues coach read the Lions, by picking the 5 better players for the bench. The Lions have now blown 3 games in the last 20 minutes
Try Lelia Masaga for the Chiefs
Chiefs 26 / 3

@poppa69(poppa69)-4: to me where mitchell lost the plot was the planning for last night
one could see this coming with the team that the blues chose to bring on the better players on the highveld in the last 20 , and it showed , mitchell however did not see this coming
Try Gareth Delve for the Rebels
try rebels
Chiefs 26 / 10
@ sharky_forever:
if this coach is so good as everyone makes him out to be he must know that you CAN play n conservative game for n period and then step it up at other times. The Bulls will give me a heart attack one day but they are a good example of a team who can speed up play for periods when it really counts.
This match between the Chiefs and Rebels does not impress me at all, maybe it’s because our attention is on the Lions so much… but it is almost as if this is a NOTHING-MATCH…
Don’t you also get this feeling?
Die Rebel haker kan nie lekker voel nou nie hy gooi soos sy agterent in en daai skrum op die Chiefs lyn was ook maar power
Try Taumololo
Morning Rugby Talkers..hehehe.
Nou hoekom draai Ash die geel cappie? Hy het Lions gese by 12???? 😯
Hope the taal is okay there..hehe
gbs @ 29
goed dankie bru
super @ 30
ekt al weer verkeerd gepick … tensy die rebels die game op sy kop kan draai!!
agree rudi , no voema in this game@ grootblousmile:
Chiefs 33 / 10
@ Ashley:
dagse asblikkie
@ grootblousmile:
Stem saam, maar onthou jy destyds toe ons nog lekker baie hier was het ons baie die vorige belangrike SA games bespreek.
Maar oor hierdie game kan ek net een ding se die neutrale refs moet weer terug kom. Hierdie ref laat die een kant baie meer toe as die ander.
Maybe I’m just a bit tired this morning… did not sleep well….
I think the Chiefs will get their bonus point… 8 minutes to go.
Kyk weer na daardie penalty op die 70 min merk, die skrum was klaar gewen deur die Rebels en die skrum was nog mooi gevorm, bal klaar onder die 8ste man maar hy gee n penalty aan die Chiefs vir slipping the bind.
Rebels now going hard at the Chiefs… maybe they can prevent the Chiefs from getting the bonus point…. that would be ideal
