Well done Highlanders . . .

Didn't see that one coming . . . especially when the Chiefs were 10 points clear with the Highlanders a man down.  

Thia is indeed a surprise and to be expected  on the first day of the Series,   I watched the game and neither the Highlanders nor the Chiefs really impressed me.   They would have to develop a lot to be in the final stages of the competition.

The other rather caustic surprise was  the Rebels beating the Brumbies relatively easily,

I have bad choices in the fantasy comp - bar one  - I picked Ta'avoa as a prop and he scored a try.   For the rest I only had Pocock and Rob Thompson playing  in the Sportsdeck comp.   

... and then the wheels fell off ...
