    this is an experienced Chiefs side who know how to win. Conversely this is an inexperienced Stormers side who, frankly, don’t know how to win(tight knock-out contests). I think the Chiefs will take the spoils. Sadly.

    that’s it. Chiefs score in the corner. I do think that is the nail in the Stormers coffin.
    Extending on that theme, I think we are going to see much of the same in the Tri-Nations. Close(r). But no trophy to put into the cabinet. The realist in me springs forth. Of course I can always be proved wrong.

    So. Chiefs prevail. Deserved victory. Away from home. Huge pressure. We should expect the same from the AB’s when they visit. But then we know this already. If the Lions play like they did today, they will lose to the Hurricanes. Which will result in an all Kiwi final (again). No surprises there either.
    I hope I am wrong. Cheers guys.

    Why did you talk here, all alone on the Lions / Sharks thread, in stead of on the actual game thread between the Stormers vs Chiefs??
