89 @ The_Young_Turk:
Looking at the tries scored above on the score board of RT it looks like Chiefs have scored 4 tries. Or does gbs have it wrong?
Chiefs slot a penalty, Anscombe.
Final Score: Chiefs 26 / 16 Blues
Bools have a better points difference so now only need a draw against the Stompies…
All over Rover
94 @ Puma:
No, I have it right, tries by Aki, Elliot and 2 by Tameifuna
@ Puma:
Dammit, seems I was wrong then, the Chiefs did manage to score 4 tries! Now there is only one option for the Bools – win at all costs!
Chiefs end on 66 Log points… Bulls need a win or a draw WITH a bonus point for tries
OK RTs, see you at the Cheetahs match, tjorts.
101 @ Pietman:
Piet,
Cheetahs are not playing today. They have a bye.
101 @ Pietman:
Hey, there are 2 more games before the Sharks / Kings game… and the Cheetahs have a bye weekend….
99 @ The_Young_Turk:
Bulls should win later today. I do have Stormers by 3 because of home ground advantage. Also put in my picks before I knew Joe was out. So not sure how good Gary is with the goal kicking.
Ok see you guys for the big one later, ciao a tutti!
@ Puma:
@ The_Young_Turk:
Sorry boys, ‘desert dimentia’ kicking in still, I suppose, I meant Kings match.
@ The_Young_Turk:
See you young one, cheers.
