Dude! That is a very good question. Our defence has always been ***, but we took it to another level this morning...

Will say that this Chiefs team will be strong contenders for the finals.
 
The problem with the Cheetahs was that they weren't trying to create any space, they were just passing the ball from side to side. No one was running lines to try and open up those gaps.

But when they did get into gaps it was knocked on or the momentum went to waste with poor passing.

Unfortunately attacking ability and finishing are the least of their problems.

Only two things are clearly visible from space. The Great Wall of China and the gaps in the Cheetahs' defence.

It's worked for them before, and the Chiefs also used to play like that. Problem is, if you play open, running rugby then you actually need to score points. The Chiefs managed to fix their defence last year and kept their attacking style, and look how it's worked for them. Today the Cheetahs didn't have defence, and they didn't attack properly either. Fail all round.

Exactly. They actually did something about it.

It is one thing to play an expansive game and leaking a try or 2 because of errors because that will always happen if you play that high risk type of game.

It is another thing to have no defence at all and also leak tries while making mistakes(Cheetahs make crapload of these) on attack.
 
If the Force win this, it is going to be almost as embarrassing as when the Sharks lost to the Lions...
 
How is that try from the bulls at 71 minutes legal? Maybe I'm out of the loop, but isn't that obstruction? 'Truck-and-trailer'? Is this American football?

Not to mention my SuperBru points I'm throwing away :mad:

I'm nearly there on win and margin. Bulls need a penalty and I'm 1 point off. You lot have far too much faith in The Bulls...:p
 
Bulls woke up in the last 15 minutes. Most probably thought they just need to show up for the game to win.

Really hope Basson's injury is not that bad.
 
Really, are these supposed to be the best two teams in SA? Bash, Bash, Bash, Kick. Bash, Bash, Bash, Bash, Kick.

This really is pathetic.
 
Or there could be some intelligence behind the reply and maybe just maybe because these are the 2 tops teams in SA, they are that tightly matched that one cannot outdo the other too much. But no :rolleyes:

Still better than the Bulls game. I really expected that the Bulls would destroy the Force. It was a poor showing of South African teams overall today. And yet, I can see them all improving.
