My Bru pick was Highlanders by 14… so I hope the score stays put!

Landers steal the Blues lineout

7 Minutes to go and some good, urgent counter-rucking by the Landers… earns them a turnover scrum.

Blues now push the Landers off their own ruck ball… same as what the Landers just did to them!

The Highlanders, Chiefs and Hurricanes will now all be right on the Top of the Log Points…

Fark, it looks like it COULD be short…

grootblousmile on 18 April 2015 at 11:14 am

Try is awarded… a bit dodgy, I would say!

The only game i watched this weekend on the way to magalies, what a game, i th ought the skill level was extraordinary at times.

I also think the only way the all blacks could be brought down to every one else’s level is if aaron Smith got injured. The most valuable player in the world over the last few years imo.
