Landers steal the Chiefs lineout… they’ll just try to run down the clock now with their stronger forwards pack
Need the chiefs to take this one if I am to have any chance with my predictions
Chiefs get a penalty though
2 Minutes left…. scrum for the Chiefs.
… and we have uncontested scrums now, so they are assured of their ball.
Landers steal the ball and hack it far upfield
Seconds left.. penalty to the Chiefs… hooter goes
Landers get a penalty… they’ll just kick out and win… and do
Final Score: Chiefs 19 / 23 Highlanders
Daar verloor ek my eerste pick, maar was amper…….
Well, not too much damage done to my Bru, with the upset win by the Landers, only 7 players in the pool picked them for a win
