Goooooooo Chiefs…
However, I think the Saders will win….
Agree, Chiefs deserve it for their outstanding season, but I feel nothing will stand up to the Crusader steam roller.
Go Chiefs
Ciao a tutti. Chiefs to moer the Saders and put an end to their era.
Chiefs gaan dit doen.
More almal.

Couple of handbags
Craig Joubert has a chat with both captains
Both teams look lus for this game. Gonna be a cracker!
@ bdb:I’m going early to watch the U/19 and U/21 matches too (make parking easier, so will get there just before 1pm.
Hehe, skryf mekaar af AB’s.
If these teams do enough damage to each other through these off field incidents, going to make the Championships so much easier for us, so Go Lads, Moer each other stukkend!
15: mooi so, hou ons hier op hoogte van die tellings van 0/19 en 0/21, dit word nie lewendig uitgesaai nie. Dankie
Chiefs nie te goed met uitklop-rugby nie, sit te veel druk op hulself deur in hul kwartlyn te speel.
Chiefs showing some good skills
Good rugby…
18 @ bdb:Will do
Both these teams are so gee-ed up and committed. The pace is frenetic but the defense up so soon and so determined that we haven’t seen any extended passage of play yet.
Penalty Saders, chance for Carter to posts
Chiefs 3 / 3 Crusaders
Thats one down!
Penalty Chiefs, Chiefs own side of Halfway, Cruden going for goal
