 Watched most of it. Hard fought and enterprising. The thing that struck me most was the passing. Fast hard passes finding their mark that opened up the opposition defences.Lest kbbs get carried away I am not sure about their scrumming prowres.
Hear Stormers will play Chiefs. Wee Chiefies must be worried!!

 No one noticed the former highlander half back Glen Jackson being the ref of the game and letting the Highlanders get away with murder at the breakdown to ensure a Highlander win? U need glasses Beeno - not sure they will help your one eyed status though.

 Hi there Hacked waaaugh - the game changed with that deserved yellow the wee chiefies got. I do trust you agree on that.Look I don't get too uptight when nz refs crook another nz side out. At least one nz side is getting paid back. Hahahahahaha hahahahaha

 SA sides need to sharpen up on their passing skills and support lines. IMHO

 Makes it even worse when Justin Marshall is commentating.
That man is an idiot.
He should try listening to a recording of his own voice commentating after a match.

The worst combination ever would be Phil Kearns and Justin Marshall commentating on a match in the same room.

 Justin is about the only commentator any non kbbs could accept. He makes an effort to be fair and knows the game. Unlike many kbbs you ply their trade here to the astonishment of others! Hahahahahahahhaahhaha

I missed the important games & will be left watching the lumbering SA teams play
The drama will be around if one of the teams actually figures out how to pass the ball.  One must remain optimistic

 No sour grapes JW. Remember how the Lions beat the wee chiefies on the home turf etc etc.  You have a short memory.
Its bad enough having to deal with ou hacked waaaghahaha moaning and groaning about the ref and everything else. 
Well at least Cloudy must be happy as she prepares a nice boil!

Congrats to the Landers, they always seem to be able to win the big ones these days. And congrats to the Chiefs as they now have to play the hapless wee stormers. Was this the plan all along?... I leave it to you to decide

Kiwi league standings ended up as many thought, i.e. very tight:
Canes          53Landers       52Chiefs          51Saders         50
All in the finals and all with a record of 11 and 4. Even the Blues came right as the season progressed and they had one of the toughest schedules. Congrats to all kiwi teams!
