89 @ McLook:
Yip, not convincing… but a win is a win.
Chiefs looking good on the Logs
OK, waar’s daai Koffie….
Win is a win but the chiefs is not entirely convincing this year. Are they missing SBW in the midfield. Missing the Crudeness/SBW combo?
Swak Chiefs….soos Scrumdown gese het, hulle kan nie ‘finish’ nie.
93 @ McLook:
Bundee Aki and cohorts have done well in Sonny Bill Williams’ absense
Force pushing a lot of teams close, think they might be a “force” going forward
Force run a lot of teams close… but they still flatter to deceive
OK, coffee in the hand… warm and strong….
3 teams now over 40 Log points… Brumbies 45, Chiefs 44, Bulls 41.
Bulls and Chiefs have played one week less than the Brumbies though… so the Chiefs sit pretty.
OK, 100 up…let’s mosey on over to the Reds / Sharks game thread
Only 6 games on this weekend.. 3 today, 3 tomorrow
