Highlanders v Chiefs

[taniwharugby]

early shower for naholo

[Tim]

<p>Probably Cruden's worst game for a while. Hope he improves in the playoffs.</p>

[taniwharugby]

Great cover defence by highlanders

[hydro11]

<p>Basically over. Chiefs need 10 points or the Highlanders need two tries.</p>

[reprobate]

<p>and so another aspect of reffing inconsistency. barrett did that in the earlier game, not ruled deliberate.</p>

[Mattasaurus]

Lmao - correct call but now jackson goes to pocket..hate how refs rule last few mins differently to first 40mins

[Mattasaurus]

So will lions reserve grade be good enough?<br><br>
Could we see replay of last year's final in same location?

[taniwharugby]

A dg gets a bp for Chiefs

[hydro11]

<p>Great result for 'canes fans.</p>

[taniwharugby]

No BP and highlanders send the canes to the top...<br><br>
Now everyone to watch the big cats scrap it out to see where they go next week

[Tim]

<p>Hats off to the Highlanders. Pretty impressive win, especially given the travel.</p>

[No Quarter]

Fuuucckk that's awesome, at no point during this season did I think the Canes would top the conference. Bring on the finals!!

[Tordah]

<p>fuck. well done highlanders, but fuck, the chiefs midfield play left some tries out there</p>

[Mattasaurus]

Wow.. canes win conference.<br><br>
Jackson still bloody ordinary (loved hearing about him in second 40 fellas)<br><br>
TMOS still no clue<br><br>
Picking all kiwi final...

[Toddy]

<p>Such a good game of rugby. Game of the round (& round robin??)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chiefs came up against a team that defended their hearts out and they had no answer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feel for Cane. He was huge in the 2nd half. Real 'follow me' performance. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You really notice how niggle Brodie is when you don't have your All Black blinkers on.</p>

[Gunner]

Canes win the NZ conference, WTF. <br><br>
Sneaky bastards. They'd be able to sneak in the back door, drink all your piss and shag your Mrs before you knew what the hell was going on.

[Rembrandt]

Really disappointed by DMac. Can see why he didn't get an AB game, just too ineffectual in defense.

[hydro11]

<p>Seriously how the hell did we win the conference this year? Started like crap and played poorly for lots of the season. Good thing we kept ourselves in it.</p>

[WillieTheWaiter]

Fuck I can't get over how shithouse our backs were tonight. Midfield was utter mud, right from the KO.<br><br>
Forwards were good, tho Messam totally anonymous a mile of the pace.. Normally in games like this he'd be dominant.<br><br>
Bird really starting to fire. Such a massive unit.

[Chris B.]

<p>So Highlanders get Brumbies.</p>
<p>Chiefs get Stormers</p>
<p>Crusaders get Canes if the Lions get at least one bonus point against the Jaguares - if not they get the Lions.</p>
<p>Canes get the Crusaders unless they win it all in which case they get the Shorks.</p>
