@ superBul:
They are talking about the ‘NZ Conference’, I thought the conference system was no more?
Naas, you don’t have tendency in line outs and scrums, you have the accendency

I rate this wont be a good weekend for my bru, I also have the bulls to win.
@ nortierd:
Look i alway question everything but have a look at the first try in slow-mo.
I like the try and really believe it must stand.
But a SA Ref would have questioned that blocking run by the next Chiefs player. Have a look it even looked like he handed him off. Or am i seeing things. I think it could easily been called obstruction.
Dont bother to respond if i am totally wrong. We can learn a lot from them, running such supportive lines can open a lot of opportunities for us.
Let me go watch a bit of cricket. I am a sucker for punishment.

They have perfected the art of running obstructing lines, usually it’s the Crusaders that benefit from this, today they were the recipients.
I agree that we need to wisen up as well, if you can’t beat them, join them.
OK, over to the Cricket!
@ superBul:
The reason it was not obstruction was that the Chiefs player did not change his running line to obstruct, the Sader player though had to try changing to get to fruean, thus no obstruction.
@ Pietman:
Thanks, Pietman. I also chose my boys. Tomorrow is our best chance to beat the Stormers for the first time since we were part of the Cats

i will watch again, it looked like the Chiefs player fended at him, maybe the Crusader tried to con the ref. Just i little observation i made. After that try the Chiefs was penalised at the kick off, OK that happens to all of us, but they certainly play the laws.
@ grootblousmile:
Us okes don’t get excited, we just win plenty of trophies.
@ NZINCHINA:
What is it, about minus 3 degrees celcius in your part of the world NZC?
