Think about it everyone. Chiefs will do Bulls a favour to win here. Saders are not gonna lose another game after today, that is if they do lose. Bulls might lose to Sharks once and Stormers as well. Chiefs need to keep the Saders OUT by winning today.
59 @ grootblousmile:
Saders have easy games from here boet. They will pick up 5 points in there next 4 games. Well they might not beat the Chiefs with 5 points in Christchurch but they will beat them there with the 4 points. Chiefs could lose to Blues as well and I really think they will lose to Saders in Christchurch as I doubt very much Saders will lose any of the rest of the games they have to play. If they win here mark my words they will hold the final, unless Bulls win all the rest of their games.
Chiefs 25 / 19 Crusaders
Come on the Chiefs. Know I have them on bru by how much have forgotten. Put my picks in like a flash this morning…..
The web hosts got a piece of my mind now…. freegin assholes
Chiefs should try and score again and not allow Saders a losing bonus point. Come on Chiefs!
Less than 5 minutes to go…. can still go either way
66 @ Puma:
As long as it is only a penalty, otherwise they get a bonus point for tries
Chiefs keep the pressure on…. Cruden the little general
mornings, how goes?
Things are so well on my side I purposely picked the wrong results on SuperBru
2 Minutes to go, Chiefs still deeeeep in Saders territory
70 @ Gena_ZA:
Hello Gena!
Jy bedoel jy MOET keer of dit gaan nog beter….. hehehe
Chiefs penalty….. very, very kickable.
Go for goal, Chiefs!
Final Score: Chiefs 28 / 19 Crusaders
The fat lady just sang! And my Superbru just went farther south….but well done CHIEFS!!!! You deserved it.
Well, Chiefs bag 4 Log points, Crusaders get none…
Chiefs go to 52 on the Combined Log.
Now the Bulls will have to pump the Sharks AND score 4 tries… to go just 1 Log point behind the Chiefs
YES! Had it right for a change on bru…. 🙂
Saders not picking up a bonus… 🙂
76 @ grootblousmile:
Gonna be a almighty game tomorrow. Sharks could win boet, don’t count us out that easy. I know we have plenty top players out injured and our midfield is not that great with a new combination there almost every week. But Sharks will come out fighting the whole way.
Last year we won by 32- 10 against the Bulls. Then it was Bissie, Keegan, JPP and Ludik picking up the tries. This year we only still have Keegan starting from those players. Going to be tough for my Sharks but we will not lay down dead…. 😛
@ grootblousmile:
Bulls ‘pumping’ Sharks with a bonus point in Deben? Not likely bruvva.
I have a feeling the Sharks are going for broke tomorrow, after all the alleged internal happenings in the Tank the last few weeks. Will be one helluva game!!!
78 @ Puma:
I’m not saying the Bulls will win…. I’m hoping they do.
It’s always freegin tough against you lot…. and it’s in the Shark Tank as well.
Will be hard….. freegin hard.
79 @ Pietman:
Yip, not likely at all, like you say, The Sharks will go for broke…. it’s their last chance to resurrect their season… in fact every game is their last chance from hereon in.
Lets move over to the new game article… and continue rugby Friday there….
@ grootblousmile:
Especially Keegan…he has something to prove, pull the team together and all that, also a big PR exercise for the boys with all the bullshyte going on down there.
83 @ Pietman:
The only good thing for the Bulls is that the Sharks midfield is still very, very vulnerable…..
