Lekker kakdroogmakery by the ‘landers.
25

grootblousmile on 24 February 2017 at 8:59 am

Must say, the 1st 2 Chiefs tries (James Lowe tries) were gifted to the Chiefs by the Landers…
26

Scrumdown on 24 February 2017 at 9:00 am

This ref seems to be letting a lot of high tackles go that would be penalised in the NH.
27

grootblousmile on 24 February 2017 at 9:00 am

Lander try?

TMO

Did not look like a try to me.
28

grootblousmile on 24 February 2017 at 9:00 am

No try…

grootblousmile on 24 February 2017 at 9:02 am

26 @ Scrumdown:
It is nice though… they are taking the high tackle law far too far this season!

Scrumdown on 24 February 2017 at 9:02 am

I went Chiefs by 5 on SB but muat say the landers look the better side thus far.
