The Chiefs travel to Brisbane at that time in the season where most of the mid table games are almost make or break.
The Chiefs have a 50% record this season and are languishing, mid table. A BP win will propel them above the Bulls into second spot on the log.
A Reds BP win will see them go no higher than seventh. A Reds loss though will be a deadly blow to any hopes they may have had of making the play-offs.
Will the Chiefs put an NZ team up there we we usually see them?
Will the Reds put themselves where we are used to seeing them?

Scenes from last weeks Blues / Chiefs match spring to mind.

BP try for chiefs muliaina
@KSA Shark © (Comment 21) : exactly – they are messing with my SB
can somebody tell me – how exactly did we loose against reds 😯
At the rate the Chiefs are scoring tries i need to think about getting some of them in my FL team.
another try for chiefs
@rekinek (Comment 25) : Complacency?
half time : 12 – 37 – so if chiefs win they go to second or third place (not sure whether they will take over bulls on points difference)
BEFORE this game
Bulls 22Pts with a PD of 38
Chiefs 17 Pts with a PD of 34
The Chiefs already have the BP so they just need to ensure they win by more than 4 points.
So I think it is safe to assume they will go 2nd. 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 28) : must be that one 😡
it’s almost noon (that’s why i’m getting hungry)
off to gym will watch the second half there.
will be back for afternoon games 😆
my 3d consecutive ‘no points’ on SB this weekend, so after the weekend ill have about 50% accuracy, which sucks badly
@rekinek : HaHaHaHa HeHeHeHe…. go bulls 😈
@rekinek (Comment 31) :
Cheers
The Aussie commentators are always so excitable! 😆
