@ nortie:
p,Aus=plays
Pressure scrum coming up.
Saders scrum ruled, on their own 5
Reset scrum… looks like the Chiefs loosehead folded first
@ nortie:
Kyle Abbott was a breath of fresh air yesterday.
Chiefs get the inevitable penalty, so very kickable too
@ nortie:
The key to our success is batting first. We will almost never ever chase a 300+ score in a knockout even 250 will be out of reach… It would take something truely extraordinary
95 @ McLook:
Pity Wiese is not with the Proteas in place of Parnel…
Chiefs 28 / 16 Crusaders
Cruden playing well.
95 @ McLook:
He was, I’m glad he got the opportunity, I’m not a Parnell fan.
Also glad Rilley got a chance as well, those two can only strengthen the side.
JP can also still return, and I would keep Rossouw and drop Behardien.
De Kock is a worry though
This game is long from done and dusted, but the Saders have a mountain to climb in the last 24 minutes
Pitty we didnt take robbie p or albie/mclaren
As crap is parnell is i feel bad for him because amla dropped that catch against india that proved to be costly.
97 @ MacroBull:
Yes, but if we were to face this Kiwi team on a fast track in conditions that suit their bowlers, they will tear through our batting line up like nobodies business.
And they will want us to bat first, we will be playing into their hands.
Saders will NEVER have the needed oomph with Colin Slade at flyhalf!

We don’t see lot of SA cricket in nuzoland. I have no idea who are the plates on the fringes of the Proteas team. Yesterday firs time I saw Abbott.
@ nortie:
Rosouw was awesome. I find it hard that they will drop de kock now… Might be a problem. But we need tonsort ournbowling out first.
Either behardien is injured or ab screwed around yesterday by bowling FAF
Chiefs penalty, they will go for the corner…

Neither is Carter giving it to them as well, he was even worse in the first game.
I like the look of the replacement 10 for the Chiefs, think his name is McKenzie or something.
He looks exciting and can take a gap
@ grootblousmile:
Didnt slade gets heaps of praise fornthe highlanders win?
107 @ MacroBull:
To me, Quinton de Kock adds a huge lot as wicket keeper… that stumping yesterday was blitsvinnig and marvelous
@ nortie:
Agree with your bowling choices. I’ll drop de Kock and keep Duminy and Riley.
Try Chiefs, bonus point.. Tom Marshall
Crusaders panicking with 20 minutes to go….they are a shadow of their old self
109 @ nortie:
Damian Mckenzie is electric!
Dan Carter is now a hasbeen.
Chiefs 33 / 16 Crusaders
De Kock as keeper is great, but as a batsmen he is becoming like Gayle…..one hit wonder once every 10 innings, the other 9 times just making up the numbers
Saders havevlost their manna after departure of Deans. Carter and McCaw are passengers.
Komaan julle koeiboere, moer hulle!
I’m already looking forward to the Chiefs v Hurricanes match
