My bum is still squeaking.
On to next week then.You've got to think the Chiefs team that played this game, after a flight back to NZ, isn't going to do well against the Crusaders.
You've also got to think, watching the close-ups of Etzebeth's face after the game... "Yeeeaahhh... suck it" -

Saders are our bitches.
Being a true neutral (in that kinda being from the 'Naki, I'll jump on whatever bandwagon looks like winning) - that'd be nice to see, only if the Canes beat the Lions. I don't see the Chiefs crossing the Indian Ocean twice in two weeks and winning a Final.
Edit: thrice in 3 weeks? Fuck knows, I can't count, I went to high school in the goddamn 'Naki, for chrissake. -
The only reason a SAteam is still in the comp is because of the draw.

Highlanders would have beaten LionsWas just going to ask the question, "do you think Highlanders would have beat the Lions" and then you edited your post...
I don't think the sequence/timing was right - but imagine the uproar if Highlanders had defaulted their last game, in order to deliberately slip to 8th position, be able to fly to SA early to prepare, and then beat the Lions. -
BBBR is far from his usual form. Is he carrying an injury or is he just tired ? He did not seem too concerned by the game while Mitch Brown is too small for a lock. That second row was outplayed by Du Toit and Etzebeth and this is one of the reasons why the Chiefs played so badly today.

Retallick got through a mountain of work. There were a couple of times where he made hit up and then got up and made another one from the next ruck. Brown definitely shouldn't be playing lock.
Just finished watching the game, it was a nail biter, like a test match.
How good for Stevenson to come on and have his first touch of the ball scoring the winning try. I'm actually surprised he has been starting in this back end of the season.
I like how Cane talked Peyper into penalising Carr - every other captain is doing it these days so we may as well get on board.

He seems to cruise during Super Rugby and then really steps it up for the ABs. Was still pretty good though.
