Blues (6) 11 / Chiefs (7) 16 (Final Score)
The Blues hosted the Chiefs at Eden Park, Auckland at 09:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Blues stumbled for the 3rd time in 4 weeks, the Chiefs finally coming to some kind of form, late in the competition.
Ideal result for the South African challenge on the competition as a whole!
Scorers:
Blues: 2 Penalties Luke McAlister, 1 Try Jared Payne
Chiefs: 1 Conversion & 3 Penalties Stephen Donald, 1 Try Tana Umaga

Ahhhh, Chiefs penalty just inside halfway
Missed to the right
5 min left
The kickers are equally kuk and it’s down to the wire where a 3 pointer is enough to win it!
Another similar penalty…. go for goal again, please
Turk, my understanding of Genesis suggets that a pretty wife could’ve been created late on a Saturday morning? 😉
Overrrrrrrrrr
Chiefs 16 / 11
Yes!!!! Now Blues need a converted try!
@ fender:
Well, better late than never, I suppose 😉
Chiefs scrum…. seconds left
Final Score: Chiefs 16 / 11 Blues
WOo HOO! Another bites the dust. Blues and landers wobbling!
Very, very good result for the whole of SA’s challange
Now Stompies have the vital second spot on the log and the possibility for 3 saffa teams in the play offs looks good!
Unfortunately the Cheatahs may just put a spoke in that wheel, though 😉
73@ The_Young_Turk:
Would be ideal if SA sides could finish 2nd, 4th and 6th….
@ grootblousmile:
And Saders finish 5th, with Blues 3rd
I think Reds are unfortunately assured of 1st………unless bumblies can surprise the galaxy and even themselves and their mothers 🙂
76@ The_Young_Turk:
Yip…. that would be good
