Chiefs 30 / 13 Waratahs
Looks like I at least picked the right winner here on Bru…. but not by freegin 17 freegin points!
10 Minutes to go
Tahs really have an uphill struggle now
60@ grootPIENKsmile:What, the welding mask, or the colour, hahaha
Chiefs almost through again…
Tahs penalty right in front of the Chiefs posts, quick tap… Tahs close
Chiefs get the scrum though
65 @ Just For Kicks:
Hahahaha
Poor throw, Tahs, they’re not going to get back into the game this way!!
Oh the Life of Brian…
I woke BonzaiGBS just now to remind him he HAS TO go to the bank to cancel his lost Cash Card and get a new one!
Do all parents HAVE TO think for their children?
Watching this game makes me more annoyed at my Sharks for losing to this Tahs side. They really are not great at all.
Ty Lelia Masaga?
No, Masaga pushed a Tahs player on the way to the ball.
Relieving Tahs penalty…. and no bonus point, so far
69@ grootPIENKsmile:
Yes and it never stops how old they get.
Had some time to think about the Cheetahs match this morning whilst pumping wine over – gosh, they looked good on attack, some of the best attacking rugby I’ve seen from a South African team this year. If only their defence was a bit stronger, and they could cut out some of those silly mistakes, they could be at the other end of the log.
Penalty against Tom Carter, Chiefs will kick for touch to try for the bonus point.
They do not manage to kick out
2 Minutes to go.. Tahs penalty, tapped… nothing much happening for them though
Okay will pick up a point for this game, but my margin is way out.
@ Puma:Agree, they really are a shadow of what they were, seems to be no structure at all to the team
Looks like there won’t be bonus points either way…. wait, Chiefs on attack
Scrum Tahs… seconds to go
Tapper just climbs further towards the heavens
Hooter goes
Final Score: Chiefs 30 / 13 Waratahs
Thats it, and, as you say, no bonus point
73@ Just For Kicks:
They will get better and to think my Sharks still have to play them home and away. Bulls lucky they played them before they started to hit their straps.
Next match Guppies, hope they keep the SA conference flag flying high after the Cheetahs
77@ Just For Kicks:
Agree and this was the year my team should have got a win from them finally. How we lost that game to this team is just annoying to say the least.
Now hope my Sharks are better against Jakes team, who are sitting on top of the conference in Oz. Who would have thought Brumbies would be playing so well? Really hope Sharks can pick up a win today. We have Keith Brown as ref and he is useless. We just have to keep the discipline and not let in easy tries like we done last week. Sharks need to be sharper and on the money this week after their kick offs, one area that let us down really badly last week. Also need to watch Hooper at the breakdown. Need to get their fast and in numbers.
86@ Puma:Yup, and added to all of your comments, you’ve got the wily old jake the snake in the mix as well!
