Let’s see if they can make something of this good play now. No Joe stops them another wasted opportunity. By Chiefs.
88 @ Ben:
Bwahahahaha
Cell CHOKE Sharks….
Whahahahaha
Pak 0/19 kolf eerste teen SA 0/19 in finaal.
Chiefs gaan wen in die doodsnikke van die wedstryd, druk in die hoekie.
For my Bru to be correct, the Chiefs would have to score 20 points in 15 minutes of rugby….
So, Buck my Fru…. Gooooooooooooooo Landers!
86 @ nortierd:
This could be the year. .. :). Though we travel late and have to hope we have no injuries by then. One or two injuries changes a lot for the team. As you can see your Stormers are missing quite a few good players like Eben.
Who misses the Highlanders this year from our conference?
Winston Stanley ? Broer van Gunston Stanley ?

No way Jose
It’s just like the NZ teams are either equally strong or equally weak, time will tell which is which, but their are no clear favorites in any of the other conferences except ours.
The Aussie teams have a couple that can compete on equal footing, same as the Kiwis
Try Ngatai, Chiefs
TMO
Was that grounded?
That’s a good try, man… eish
Awarded.
Scores are level, kick to come
94: goed-goed, nie in die doodsnikke nie, maar wel in die hoekie.
Try time come I’m convert it.
Chiefs 21 / 19 Highlanders
Bloody hell have to fix this predictive text after this game.
Daar was nou ‘n goeie voorbeeld, Chiefs speler het oor die losskrum geduik met die losskrum reg voor hul pale, ref blaas nie. Onkonsekwent.
Wat het gebeur, skielik Japanese rugby ?
Eish, moes nie bal weggeskop het daar nie.

Either predictive text or you opened the door for those Jehovah’s Witnesses and for the 1st time ever they converted someone
Have to say the kiwi teams look head and shoulders above our Saffa teams. Except Sharks and Lions of course…..
112 @ Puma:smiley never came up there add it on the end of that post..hehe.

So far only one Kiwi team has played SA sides, and lost both games.
Against each other they look equally good or bad, so we must see when they play us and the Aussies to accurately gauge
Less than a minute to go… Chiefs in possession.
… and they get the penalty too.
TMO to check for foul play
Highlanders just don’t let the Chiefs get a try now.
@Puma
They play a much more exciting derby than we do, they go for tries and it’s good entertainment, much more so than our derbies that is usually a dour defensive boring affair
No foul play whatsoever.
Only a scrum to the Chiefs
Final Score: Chiefs 21 / 19 Highlanders
At least no bonus points for tries for the Chiefs
Well done Highlanders, good display, looking more rounded than last year and can cause some upsets this year
