Chiefs (17) 24 / 31 (13) Crusaders (Final Score)
At least I picked the right winner on SuperBru for this one!
Was a very tough game…
Come in Chiefs better win rest of the games want your coach to arrive at Glasgow next season in a winning mood.
@ grootblousmile:
We just need the Bulls to play with a bit more intensity and purpose against the Lions tomorrow. Not so much that they beat the Lions, but that they keep the Lions sharp for the playoffs. The Lions must get a bonus point win to be able to close the gap on the Crusaders. The top spot may yet be decided by bonus points.

A sharp, running first five eighth, he made his debut for Canterbury in 1979 and went on to play 69 games through until 1985 in what was a golden era for the province. He made his All Blacks Test debut in 1980 against Australia and went on to play 35 games, including 17 Tests, over six years. He also played for and captained the New Zealand Sevens team.
After a stint playing and coaching overseas, he returned to New Zealand and into fulltime coaching. He coached the Crusaders to back-to-back Super Rugby championship titles in 1998 and 1999 and was also Assistant Coach of the All Blacks. He became All Blacks Head Coach for the 2000 and 2001 seasons before heading overseas to coach English club Northampton. He returned to the All Blacks in 2004, working alongside Head Coach Sir Graham Henry and Steve Hansen, helping coach the team to numerous victories, including the Rugby World Cup in 2011. He was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) in 2012. The same year he became an Assistant Coach with the Chiefs Super Rugby team, helping the team to back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.
