Borsch is a fighter
well done chiefs we needed 2 more points!!
nice match. bosch brings so much to de sharks!
was the ref to harsh to de jags?. there's a lot of complaining going on on social media.
imo some late calls looked homeish. I could challenge 3 pens and a knock on but didn't seem shocking as some claim
The Chiefs vs Sharks match was a very fun match to watch, i was sad at the ending but thats Rugby. We should have won this game.
The Sharks are starting to show the potential that we knew they had before the season started. They might probably pull a classic Sharks move in the weeks ahead and lose games they really should be winning but I really think we are the best team in the SA conference at the moment.
Bosch
Du Preez twins
van der Walt
Fassi
Mapimpi
Nkosi
These guys are really making a difference in each game and at full strength, I think we can beat any team on paper. However, paper is simpler than a strong mentality and this is where I feel we lack. You should see the Shark players on Instagram after a win! they go ape **** and do all kinds of parties only for them to come crashing down to earth the next week. I seriously think some players pitch up for training with hangovers.
Unfortunately a feature of the contest was a chorus of condemnation of the performance of referee Ben O'Keefe. Many say he was the 16th Highlanders player, and that because of his controversial decisions, notably at the scrum, the home side won the match. A frustrated Agustín Creevy was seen post match talking very unhappily with O'Keefe.
It is a poor image not only for the match or for Super Rugby, or for having a non-neutral official. Instead what matters most is that the match occurred just days after O'Keefe was named by World Rugby as one of the best 12 referees in the world. He will referee matches at RWC 2019.
its called gamesmanship. u gotta push the ref to see where his limits are.I allways have the feeling against NZ teams that they bend the rules a lot and refs are like super ok with that. Like they are slow to get out of the way in a ruck or that they use hands just for a sec to slow down an attacking team or that they put them selfs on the path of a player that charges a high a ball.

would love to put up a valid argument here, but unfortunately i agree.Their pack is soft as baby faeces except for A Savea & Fifita
would love to put up a valid argument here, but unfortunately i agree.
canes have some individuals that are stepping up, the barretts and savea. but we arent finals material yet
dunno bout highlanders. i think theyre less ready for finals than canes are.Crusaders for sure and Highlanders are better teams overall than Hurricanes
i dont know if we're ever ready, we seem to play every week by eardunno bout highlanders. i think theyre less ready for finals than canes are.
saders as always lead the way

Above video is so embarrassing
The whining of Quesada and the Argentinian fans & media has been pathetic
Jaguares lost the game in last 5 mins of 1st half Slapping back the restart 30 yards is moronic &
a player being offside from a planned kick clown is dumb Those mistakes cost Jaguares 14 points
Only losers moan about Referees
Big picture Jaguares got a Losing BP from the best team they'll play on Tour IMO
Objective is to win 2 games on tour & then beat Sharks in BA that'll likely decide who wins the SA Conference
this rises important questions!
1 do you speack spanish? 2 did you see matera´s Ad are the landers better than the canes ?? even dow the canes have 11 more points??
dont think was biased and the guys in the vid are analysing the plays but not taking it against the reff yes there is some whining but its more like "why did quesada get angry these are the controversial plays" in most of the cases the go "its a 50 50 situation" but theres evidence in the vid that the reff was harsher on the jags. doesent mean that the result would have changed anyway.
moaning about the reff its constant from almost evey team.
Don't speak Spanish
I don;t understand your point about Matera......
My main point is you can find dozens of clips per game where players commit infringements worthy of penalties
Sealing off Off thee feet Not supporting their body weight Clear out from the side etc etc
NO ONE wants to see a game with 30 penalties
I don't look at league tables when comparing teams
Hurricanes rely on star players to beat teams namely A Savea Perenea Barrett Brothers & Laumape
IMO Highlanders are a better balanced team as they have a good scrum and line out
They've been LUCKY to beat Waratahs Sunwolves Blues to name a few games this year
