Players out on the field!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Blues!
A couple of Blues penalties in succession… this last one is for goal!
Chiefs 0 / 3 Blues
Chiefs now on attack… Chiefs penalty on the Blues 5m line, against the Blues right wing, Matt Duffie!
Try Chiefs… Liam Messam!
Chiefs 5 / 3 Blues
Ihaia West slots a Blues penalty!
Chiefs 5 / 6 Blues
Blues penalty again… and again they go for goal.
Chiefs 5 / 9 Blues
Try Damian McKenzie, Chiefs!
Chiefs 12 / 9 Blues
Chiefs penalty slotted.
Chiefs 15 / 9 Blues
Penalty in front for the Blues… posts it is.
Missed, against the left hand upright!
Another Blues penalty, this one kickable but more difficult than the previous one… they kick for touch for an attacking lineout just inside the Chiefs 22.
Chiefs steal a 3rd lineout!
Lively game… lots of action and the half has sped by at a pace!
Ihaia West once again misses at goal… to the right again…
22m Drop out, a fast little tap one… and off the Chiefs go…
The New Zealand players always wide awake when handling the ball… in the tackle always looking if an offload is possible!
Chiefs scrummie, Tawera Kerr-Barlow comes very, very close… but seems to lose the ball over the line…
TMO and also looking for Blues foul play.
Definately no try…. now the foul play… could be a Red Card… clothesline tackle…
Red Card is to Steven Luatua…
Chiefs penalty, kicked into the corner…
So, the Blues have 14 men for the duration of the game….
Chiefs maul it over…. try to Hika Elliot!
Chiefs 22 / 9 Blues

Hello gents.
On the way back from Postmasburg.
100km from Vryburg and the countryside is WET.
25 @ Scrumdown:
Hello Mr Kempies!
Good to hear it is wet out there in that neck of the woods!
2nd Half ON!
Try Chiefs…
TMO asked to look at a couple of things….
25 @ Scrumdown:
Hi guys,
Have a safe trip back, SD.
Looks like an initial knock a phase or 2 before the try… and then a forward pass as the last pass!
No try ruled!
