20 Minutes to go in the match
What was my Bru pick for this one, I wonder….
Oh, it was Chiefs by 11
Try Richard Kahui, under the sticks… kick charged down
Chiefs 23 / 9 Blues
Very lucky try for Chiefs there. Think that is it, game over.
The difference now 14, with 15 minutes to play
62 @ grootblousmile:
I have Chiefs for a win not sure by how much though.
Come on, we’ve got to chase the comments a bit…
I need a Blues penalty for Bru… hehehe
Never going to happen though…
Weepu knocks… all that KFC taking it’s toll
… and Weepu is subbed as a result
Just had a look. I have Chiefs by 7
9 Minutes to go in the match
69 @ grootblousmile:
I need Blues to get a try and convert it. Then spot on…hehe.
Ag, I am really useless this year. Just have to ask me before you put your picks in who I have got and by how much. Then go the opposite and you will get it right! 🙂
71 @ Puma:
What was your eventual pick for the Brumbies / Bulls game?
Have a feeling I should have put the Bulls as well. Just went with home teams this week.
73 @ Puma:
Well at least you stand a chance, Blues would rather go for a try than a shot at goal, that’s for sure
Blues knock, 8m out
74 @ grootblousmile:
I went with Brumbies (home turf), well that was the main reason. Think Bulls will win it. Also was waiting forever to see if they had Jesse Mogg and Jake announced his team so late just put my picks in. Thought then just go with home teams this week.
Think Bulls gonna run them off their feet in the first half. Well that is how I see it. Could be totally wrong. Also they have their number 8 that was really impressive in SA on the bench. Suppose they needed to make space for their captain.
5 Minutes to go, Chiefs defensive scrum
78 @ Puma:
I have the Brumbies to win by 7
76 @ grootblousmile:
Hoping but they making errors now.
Try Blues, lefthand corner
TMO
Ty stands… and Oompie Puma hobbles up and down… conversion also over
Chiefs 23 / 16 Blues
Ranger is pure class, great pass by him that allowed that try.
Now I need a Chiefs penalty or unconverted try to come close
83 @ grootblousmile:
HEEEHAAA… 🙂 Hope it stays like that…. 😆
1 Minute left
Hooter goes….
Attempted drop charged…. knocked…
Game Over
Final Score: Chiefs 23 / 16 Blues
86 @ Puma:
Congrats
Spot-on!
At least I’m within 5
