    Helloooooooooooo

    See you for this game when it starts….

    Hope I have uninterrupted rugby time today…. have cabinet fitters coming to do the new kitchen cupboards, also the granite okes are dropping the granite slabs off.

    The electrition (me) needs to do some wiring changes in the kitchen where the double stoves will come in and lay on plugs to the centre island which is coming in today.

    The builder (me), needs to repair one wall which has some water damage, due to a bath leak from the other side of the wall.

    Today I needed to be triplets, not just a set of twins…. hehehehe

    Highlanders lyk gevaarlik, gaan n woeste game wees hierdie.

    It’s good to have some Super Rugby again.

    One only realises how much you missed when it’s not there to see.

  • 16

    Landers don’t take a penalty at goal… lineout 5m out, they get their ball and try a maul… Chiefs defence up to it though

  • 17

    Chiefs steal the ball… and get a relieving penalty

  • 18

    @ grootblousmile:
    This game sounds quite exciting! Just cleared it with my manager – off next Friday! 😉 Looking forward to that game!

  • 19

    Landers definately not a throw-away team… good rugby here

    9@ grootblousmile:
    Am sure all your hard work will be worth it once your place is finished, you will enjoy making your missus a fancy meal in your new all signing all dancing kitchen Happy

  • 21

    Penalty Landers, right in front… slotted

    Chiefs 10 / 6 Highlanders

  • 22

    So to answer own question it looks as if the Chiefs are that far ahead on the log that they should qualify for knockout anyway, but Highlanders win could propel them up the table and potentially, depending on how lots of other results go, deny 2nd and possible 3rd SA team from qualifying, so GO CHIEFS!

  • 23

    So wie wil ons hê moet wen hier ?

  • 24

    18 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
    Right choice!

    20 @ Bullscot:
    We have a qualified Chef in the house… she’ll be doing the cooking.. and the spoiling.

    My first orders are in already… hehehehe

  • 25

    Chiefs JUST bundled out…. good attack, strong running

  • 26

    Hou die spel fyn dop, die NZ spanne probeer so veel as moontlik aflaai in die tackle situasie deur op die voete te bly, terwyl SA spanne geneig is om heeltyd oor die ander speler te probeer hardloop en grond toe te gaan, wat veroorsaak dat die spel stadiger word, die verdediging tyd het om op te lyn = stadige bal ens ens.

    27 @ bdb:
    Ja, verseker… hulle WIL die bal lewendig hou

  • 29

    24@ grootblousmile:

    @ bdb:
    Chiefs!!! Maak die situasie(sp?) beter vir SA spanne (dis net wat ek dink).
