210 @ Puma:
Careful with the Looong words without spaces, please… it farks with our mobile site.
I have to edit every time!
5 Minutes to go…
211@ grootblousmile:
OOPS! Why you never mention that before? Will be careful from now on. NO more excitement for now…hehe.
Come on Blues.
Getting a bit scrappy now. Desperation stakes.
213 @ Puma:
I’ve mentioned it numerous times…. mostly for Loskoppie’s looong VRYYYSTAAAT
Haven’t seen Loosie for a while
216 @ Just For Kicks:
Me neither.
Just over 2 minutes to go
One of 2 things MUST happen now… Chiefs converted try for my Bru… or a Blues converted try to level the scores
If only this Blues side woke up earlier this season. They have made this Chiefs side fight for it tonight.
Chiefs win here they will top the log at the end, just can’t see them losing to Landers or Canes. Think they will lose to the Saders though, but that will not matter they too far ahead of them.
Penalty Blues…. time almost up…
Last chance saloon
213@ grootblousmile:
Okay first time I see you mentioned it. So will know better next time… 😛
Hooter has gone… Blues have it
Forward pass… Game Over
Final Score: Chiefs 41 / 34 Blues
What!!!! Henry wasn’t able to pull it off? Can he actually be mortal after all?
Henry, Henry, Henry, what happened? I blame Turky. Think he gave away Henry’s secrets too soon. And just to think, Henry trusted you, young man.
Chiefs na 58 punte, nie goed vir ons spanne nie, maar dit hou die Saders uit.
227@ The_Young_Turk:Unlike me
Have to say well done to the Blues. They came out fighting and made this Chiefs side look really vunerable tonight.
Folks, remember to join the Rugby-Talk JWC 2012 SuperBru pool…. starts on Monday!

231 @ Puma:
Chiefs are definately beatable… even at home
232@ grootblousmile:Already put predictions in, and I haven’t even been accepted yet!
233@ The_Young_Turk:I hate to say, I told you so!
Bulls or Stormers to fly over to face the Saders in the play offs. Seems that way for now. The wayt the Saders played yesterday they will get 15 points from their next 3 games. Taking them to 66 points.
236 @ Just For Kicks:
No, you’ve been accepted…
Not to worry
@ grootblousmile:
Have no idea of the abilities of any of the teams. How am I supposed to make picks? Ask my dog again?
