Super 14 is heating up

May 17, 2009

RUGBY SUPER 14

The Chiefs won the game against the Brumbies in Hamilton earlier today with a mere 3 poits: 10/7 for a final score, but no walk in the park for the Chiefs. The Brumbies put it all in and gave us a very good performance! In the end, it was the Chiefs with a penalty to secure their win. This gives them 45 points to top the log, remembering that all other teams must still play one more game. Will they stay on top, or end 2nd on the log? It does not matter for the Chiefs as they are assured of a home semi final! This is so tense with the last round of the Super 14.

The Blue Bulls are facing the Sharks tomorrow in Durban, with everything riding on the result for a home semi final for the Bulls. The Sharks will give it their all to be in the top 4 to play in a semi final. If they finish 4th, they would have to tour either to Pretoria or overseas. The tension is electrifying in Gauteng as everybody wants the two SA teams to be in the top 4, but for the Bulls, they want a home semi and that means “WIN TOMORROWS GAME”!!!

Super rugby is a tough and very competitive sport, and there is no mercy for the teams that do not perform in Super Rugby. We have seen the Cheetas and Lions fighting back the past 3 weeks with a vengeance, but one thing is certain: Too little, too late! It is still possible for us to witness the log been upset by a team or two, depending on this weekends results. The Sharks and Crusaders want to play next week in the semi final, so we can expect super performances from them. We are on the edge of our seats this weekend!

Here is the update on the S14 Log followed by games to be played this weekend!
