5 Minutes to go in the match, scrum on halfway, Saders ball
Drop goal time.
Saders lineout, inside the Chiefs 22
A Carter droppie could well do it. Kommaan Carter!
If Chiefs lose here they can blame Cruden.
Carter drop… missed
@ Puma:
Carter missed a few crucial ones too….
Saders have to build again… they do
And Carter misses the first droppie. Will he get another chance?
Why are the crowd not booing? Carter just drop kicked.
2 Minutes to go, Chiefs lineout on halfway
Kommaan Sadists, moer die Chiefs sommer stukkend!
Chiefs can now run the clock down
Less than a minute to go
And the clock running down relentlessly for us saffers. If the Bools have to travel, it’s overs kadovers.
Lost forward…. Chiefs will win!
Bulls to travel
Final Score: Chiefs 20 / 19 Crusaders
Ai fok tog, and the Chiefs win and the Bools lose demmit!
Eish the Chiefs proved many wrong, even me lol
OK, so the final is in Hamilton….
Chiefs just won the 2013 s15.
Whoow how good was the Chiefs discipline or did Steve Walsh lost his whistle?
Well, what a game, both teams are knackered!
Carter’s missed kicks proved crucial….is this the end for the little maestro?
En daar choke die Saders weer ? Eish, dit was nie deel van die script nie, maar Chiefs verdien dit, top of the log en wen die Saders.
Nou sal Bulle moet geskiedenis maak en die eerste span in superrugby word wat in Australasia al die pad van Afrika die beker wen. Eish, mens kan maar net hoop.
232 @ McLook:
Chiefs certainly the favourites now
@ grootblousmile:
Eish daai laaste game teen Stormers kos ons toe wel
238 @ superBul:
Yip!
What a game, damn man, should have gone with Chiefs, just had a really good feeling they would win this one. Told all the kiwis on keo Chiefs would win and I went with Saders on bru…. 🙁
Hope the Bulls have their flight socks! hehehehehehe.
They going on a long long flight to Hamilton.
Hell what a game. Have to say that was bloody awesome rugby to watch. Felt like you were watching the final right there. Well done to both sides.
Well done Chiefs on the win. Should have trusted my instincts and gone with them on bru.
