[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 103055"] Pretty decent game of rugby, this one- the result was in the balance up to the final whistle. For the Chiefs, obviously Masaga and Kinikinilau stood out, making the much-vaunted Bulls Bok wing duo of Habana and Ndungane look like absolute charlies on occasion. Marty Holah was also outstanding, and was only really neutralised by the very impressive late sub, Derick Kuun. Very strong showing by the Chiefs when they had ball in hand and spun it out wide. For the Bulls, well they`ll be happy to get out with a win, and Habana will be happy to get the winning try, even if he looked way out of depth earlier. The Bulls looked awesome at times, and absolutely hopeless at others- a very inconsistent performance. I seriously hope that we`ve now seen the last of the kick-and-charge by the Bulls, because their follow-up was pathetic, and their defense from the kicks atrocious. Two very bright shining lights for the Bulls were returning Boks Bakkies Botha and Guthro Steenkamp- both looked full of rugby, and very hungry after long injury lay-offs. Steenkamp especially injected some real pace into almost everything that he did, obviously feeling the pressure from Heinke vd Merwe of the Lions for a RWC place. [/QUOTE]
