I took the Chiefs by 9.

Looks like I could be 60 short at this rate.

Sounds like I am missing some decent football.

Chiefs so effective on attack and in all the aspects of their game….

Continuity, handling, correct options, execution…. and all 15 contributing… every single player!

This is a good instructional game to have recorded, to teach youngsters how things are done….

5 Minutes to go in the game….

Chiefs have 6 tries to 3….

grootblousmile on 3 March 2017 at 10:17 am

Interesting game… and equally interesting how the Blues have rallied late in the game.

Have the Chiefs just taken foot off the peddle… or have the subs of the Blues made THAT MUCH of a difference??

Seconds to go in the game…
