I'm not sure. I get to face them this week - hopefully I will be able to win ;)

Though there are a few injuries I think we are still pretty well covered in the midfield. Nonu has a minor injury at the moment but is expected to be back in 2-3 weeks. Over the last few seasons he...

That would make sense, but I'm not sure Joseph is a fan of dong things that make sense ;)

As Invictus mentioned Nemani is a big powerful ball runner from Hawke's Bay. He is not that tall (under...

Much better round for me - having Folau in my side (who scored 92 points) certainly helped! I'm slowly making my way up the table, but I still need the teams in front of me to drop a few games :)

A couple of quick thoughts on the game (apart from the idiot of a TMO):

- Beale looked like his old self when he came on, which is great news for Wallabies supporters.
- Hugh Pyle was phenomenal...

Being sociable wasn't by choice ;)

I thought the Blues loose trio was one of the major reasons for their win - is it me or does Luatua get better as the game goes on? The only real concern the...

We won a game! :bananarock::bananarock::bananarock::bananarock::bananarock::bananarock:

It wasn't the most convincing result - I was getting worried that Slade's poor goal-kicking was going to...

I agree entirely. While it would have been good to get a bonus point (and deny the Brumbies a bonus point) going for the try wasn't worth the risk in my opinion. The Brumbies were looking very...

A good performance by the Crusaders - Carter made a big impact.

Reports of the Crusaders death are greatly exaggerated....

Apparently some Aussie called Steve Lesczynski.

He is either completely incompetent or he had money on the Rebels. I'm leaning towards the later, as I find it hard to believe someone could be...

Rebels in again. For a change it wasn't from a forward pass ;)

39-33. 4 mins left.

Another forward pass........... How much are the Rebels paying the TMO?

5 minutes of scrums eventually pays off with a simple try for Cane.

Beale obviously hasn't been practicing kick-offs in his time off....

Ah, my mistake. It all makes sense now ;)

I reckon the Chiefs are really missing Kerr-Barlow at halfback, as he is not only a very strong defender, but he puts a lot of pressure on the opposition halfback (meaning the other team struggled to...

Try Pyle now - great stretch by him!

Bit of a try-fest here....

Unfortunately I missed the 2nd half (bloody visitors ;) ), but it is great to see the Blues held on for the win!

So business as usual for Leonard then ;)

EDIT: Hat-trick for Anscombe, and a 4 try bonus point for the Chiefs. Great break by TNW.

WTF? How was that not a forward pass?!?!?

HT: 9-3 to the Blues. I'm sure the Blues will be happy with the score, as I think the Stormers have probably been the better team in the first half, though the Blues defense has been outstanding.
...

Luke Braid has been very good at the breakdown so far!

Yep. It makes you wonder why they give it to their backs ;)

EDIT: The Blues are lucky Pietersen is having a poor match!

Bad news for the Blues with Mealamu off - he had been playing well too.

Stormers very unlucky not to be awarded a try there. To me it looked like the ball was touching the tryline....

It has been pretty close so far. Some aimless kicking from the Stormers, but the...
