Cheifs Leave for South Africa

As I sit down to write this, the Chiefs are on their long-haul journey to Pretoria to play the drop-kicking Bulls, fresh from their win over the Crusaders in this weekends semi final. After leaving at 3am this morning NZ time and making their journey though Australia, then on to South Africa by plane, they make their final stage via bus to Pretoria. As a long time suffering Chiefs fan, it’s nice to finally have them fight it out for the title, and after winning 11 or their last 12 games, they go in with some decent form with two recent hard fought wins over the Hurricanes and one against the Brumbies, even Foxy believes that they can do it.

I’m predicting a pretty hard fought game at altitude, the Chiefs have a bit going against them, but it’s the wrong end of the season for excuses, they’re just 80 minutes away from achieving what all teams set out to do at the start of the season, with just one team, the Bulls standing in their way. Hopefully we see a free running game with Mills leading from the back and Messam churning out some more big hits. It’s gonna be a cracker of a game, and I can’t wait.

I’ll be drinking some Tui to the Mooloo Men on Saturday night!
