Jano on…. Chiefs steal the ball
Chiefs want this one
This is attritional stuff
Right, don’t fluff it now, boys
Bulls steal another Chiefs lineout…. build again boys
Chiefs showing why they are the 2nd best defensive team in the comp.
Fark, Jano with a kak kick…. Bulls all in the 10m circle
When so little time left, and your forwards driving forward, why, oh why kick it. Just plain dumb
Chiefs attacking lineout, deep in the Bulls 22
Bulls steal yet another lineout
It’s all going pear shaped now. C’MON BULLS
Fark, kak Morné pass… knock…
Damn, man!
3 Minutes left
Damn, my Bru now looks good… not good
Bulls penalty… into the corner Morné!
Last chance saloon Bulls, use it now, and make it count.
Think I have Chiefs by 6 on Bru, not sure…
Come on Bulls… this is freegin important!
These Chiefs are gonna be tough to beat at home unless a team is on top of their game. Too many mistakes by the Bullies, they had the physicality and intensity but just couldn’t finish.
Bulls going nowhere…. yet
Chiefs steal it…. aggenee
Game over
Damn, damn, damn. eish, poor handling let the Bulls down today, thats for sure
Final Score: Chiefs 28 / 22 Vodacom Bulls
Jeez…. what a let-down!
Thats two games the Bulls could’ve/should’ve won, but silly mistakes let them down.
Hard luck Bulls only got time to watch the last 5min. Just got so damn busy could not even follow here. Will watch the game later recorded it.
Bulls still had a really successful tour winning two games and picking up two losing bonus point. Well done that is a good tour.
Fark, next weekend becoming more and more important….
Good outcome for my Bru, kak one for my Bulls
At this stage it looks likely that Chiefs will finish top of the log, darnit!

If Chiefs get a home final that is it, I think they will win it. They still have to play Saders so could lose that one. Still have to see.
