Giving up on the game now Chiefs are safe. Sharks needed to run it in the 2nd half and instead they tried to play percentage rugby. Poor coaching.

I think taking the penalty kick 20-3 down was an indication they'd given up after about 50 minutes. Chiefs thoroughly deserved to win but it was a bit disappointing it was so one-sided.

Wll played the chiefs.

Pity the title doesn't count if you fail to defeat the defending champions in the season you 'win' the trophy though

In the end the best team won. Kudos to them.

Yes, very well played. A bridge to far for the Natal boys.

Cheers, Somers for running and winning.

And huzzah for me, the wooden spooner!

Yep I'm into the ITM cup but perhaps get a count of those interested before finalising plans.

I think the ITM Cup might get a little more interest than Super Rugby actually, if people like Flem, Heath, etc. get involved.

I think that's enough waiting - start it up on cricsim...guaranteed you will get me, you, Heef (he will play it there), and Rego - plus one or two others thrown in.

Plus Rego is quite good for being an active participant for discussing each game - so that will give three of us to analyse the games.

Right the ITM discussion is heating up - I have mentioned you may run a pool. Just needs you over there now.

Alright, what I'll do is I'll post a tipping thread over on Cricsim and on Cricketweb, and then combine the standings so that the Brumby/Ripper/Quaggas/etc can still compete here if they'd like.
