Ongelooflike rugby !
I dont really want to see any other rugby after this, we had the pudding for starters
119 @ Pietman:
Howzit Piet, How you doing boet? Hope well.
This is rugby at its very best. Enjoying this game plenty.
120 @ Puma:
Check the Article with the Full Media Guide….
This is a bit like 7s rugby…
123 @ superBul:
hahahahaha. That is for sure Super. This is rugby at its finest. Brilliant rugby played from both sides here.
Dink nie hierdie Chiefs gaan maklik van hul titel afstand doen nie. As hul hier wen, weg van die huis met ‘n bonuspunt is hul sterte in die lug sommer van die begin af.
Highlanders moet nou DADELIK terugslaan met n DRIE, dit lyk nou bad
Anscombe for goal from about halfway……. over
Chiefs 38 / 27 Highlanders
Deficit now 11… too much
Game over, die kampioene gaan die game nou stadig maak en op Landers se foute teer.
Wonder of ons ooit sulke hantering sal sien van SA spanne? Maybe my adopted sons can
… and another kickable Chiefs penalty…
Chiefs 41 / 27 Highlanders
Demmit, daar sink my bru sommer met die start, ek het Landers met 4….
Landers force nou te veel, te laat jammer, my Bru ook sleg begin
Come on Landers… pull one back for my Bru…
No, don’t, that would mean 2 Log Points for the Landers….
4 Minutes to go
Landers penalty, quick tap…
Phweeew, still going hammer and tongs, after 78 minutes
Well I was gonna put Chiefs on bru then watched that Reunion show and changed my mind to Landers after listening to them….
Next time go with my instincts… 
Chiefs scrum, with about a minute to play left
Landers wasted quite a few chances, they try and make the game too fast. Or maybe the fitness is not right up there
141 @ Puma:
Hey, you ignoring me?
@ Puma:
Same here.
Chiefs penalty.. all they need to do is hack it out… and they do
Final Score: Chiefs 41 / 27 Highlanders
Interessant dat die 3 spanne wat die Bulle die grootste pakslaes gegee het in super rugby, 2 van daardie spanne onlangs die supertitel gewen het: Reds in 2011 en Chiefs in 2012.
Nou wat gaan aan met die Stormers, lyk my hulle het nog nie geleer uit 2005 se pakslae nie ?
Jeez worried for my Sharks. They face Chiefs after a long flight there then Landers when we tour. Two of the best sides in kiwi land. Eish, just don’t come harder for my team. We travel there in April so really hoping we have Alberts and Bissie back by then.
What a great game would have loved the last 5 minutes to be closer though, something like 6 points in it
Kla ek nou met n witbrood onder die arm?
@ superBul:
One bad pass when they should have scored and a run-away turnover try sunk the Landers….
