I picked the Chiefs by 5 on Bru… but maybe I should root for the Waratahs…. to cut the Chiefs back a notch, they’ve been a bit to good so far!
Players out and ready
Game ON!
Strangely enough, the 06:30 Match always gets quite a number of commenters participating, then there is a lull at 08:35 as people probably eats breakfast… then the 10:40 game is busy again!
Try Kingston for the Tahs?
TMO
Difficult decision….
Awarded
Waratahs 7 / 0 Chiefs
Welcome to jaco swart who has just registered on the site!
Try Robbie Robinson for the Chiefs
Waratahs 7 / 7 Chiefs
Looks like all the Chiefs players have shaved their heads…
Baldy passes to Baldy… to Baldy… who passes to Baldy… forward pass by a Baldy
Scrum Tahs
A bit of blood on the bald patch on a Baldy’s bald head…
Waratahs scrum strong….
Must be a bit of a Samson story, Chiefs lost their scrumming power, by shaving their hair!
Tahs looking the better side.
Penalty Tahs, easy enough kick for posts
Waratahs 10 / 7 Chiefs
Chiefs lose their lineout again…
Penalty to the Waratahs also, this one slottable too
McKibbin misses this one to the left
Polota-Nau…. looks terrible with his golly-wog hair.
Penalty Chiefs, kickable
Waratahs 10 / 10 Chiefs
Tahs were hard on attack, Canes hold the maul up, 1m out… turn-over scrum
Penalty Chiefs, right in front… Palu offside… that ball looked out to me.
Chiefs 13 / 10 Waratahs
Penalty to the Tahs… and McKibbin should go to goal
Berrick Barnes goes for touch though
Tahs try?
TMO
Would like to see Tahs win this. Bad for my bru but good for the tourney. Keeps it open and also like to support our good friend OldGriquas team.
Close call…
Inconclusive
Scrum 5 Tahs
