Chiefs vs Rebs - Live Chat & Banter plus post game analysis

 Another tackle of Rebel player without the ball near point of contact. kiwis do thsi to open up gap in defence.Meanwhile R ebels score again!

 36-15 Chiefs will win this but too many turnovers. Chiefs go to the top of the table.

 Congrats to the Chiefs, glad they didn't let a game they should win slip away from them. Rebs gave it a shot but didn't have to much to offer.

Well thankfully that snorefest is over!Hearty congrats to wee chiefies and their gormless fans! JW has had his entire identity validated for another week!

Well Beeno, I feel you may have made progress in that you congratulated a kiwi team but as Cloudy is not around to validate my conclusion it remains speculation on my part
Hope to see the Blues give it a good go next. As for the wee stormers, perhaps it is best if I don't comment.
