    Finals can be unpredictable, but the travel factor will weigh heavily against the Brumbies; the Chiefs have at times looked vulnerable as have the Brumbies, saying this both teams are well coached and possess match winners. The Brumbies pack have shown that they will not be intimidated and the chiefs will be aware of this. Hopefully Craig Joubert will be consistent and will not allow the “Hamilton Crowd” to sway his judgement. It may all come down to a missed kick or some other mistake. Cruden has not been a dead eye dick this season; whereas Christian Lealiifano has hardly put a foot wrong. Brumbies may defy the odds but the safe money is on the Chiefs to retain the S15.

    Yip… have to agree.

    Still think the Chiefs will take their 2nd title in a row.

    @ grootblousmile:
    Hello GBS,
    Meant to ask you earlier, what happened to the summary of bloggers’ posts on the right above the Superbru column?

    3 @ Pietman:
    Till the web hosts have sorted out ALL their shit, I won’t use that Plugin yet… The Plugin runs a script which unfortunately has to querie almost 280 000 comments, 7066 Articles (Posts), another 174 Pages and all the Users on R-T (active or not active) before it gives the results and displays the results.

    It appears that that Plugin causes a huge use of Server CPU minutes, because the script runs so long and intensively.

    So… that’s what happened to the Recent Comments Plugin on the right hand side…
