Yeah, that try not allowed as well as the run-up to it was absolutely brilliant!

How the TMO saw a foot out long before the try is beyond me!

I’m ever impressed with that youngster McKensie. We’re going to see him in black one day I think.

Chiefs scrum penalty, just barely inside the Landers half… shot at goal it is.
27

Tassies on 20 June 2015 at 9:55 am

Chiefs scrum looks good. Oh wait. I seem to remember a certain game at Newlands. Wait; not so good. Doesn’t say much for the Highlanders does it.

grootblousmile on 20 June 2015 at 9:56 am

Shot is short…

MacroPolo on 20 June 2015 at 9:56 am
