Our second Friday match sees us going to Sydney where the Waratahs host the Chiefs.
The Waratahs have been up and down all season, but will lift their game knowing that the Chiefs are somewhat of a bogey team, the Chiefs have only beaten the Waratahs once in Super Rugby history.
Knowing that, the Chiefs have made a few changes to try get their spark back, shifting Richard Kahui to inside centre to be closer to the ball and dropping Gareth Anscombe from fullback for Andrew Horrell.

Hope the chiefs will play this badly next week against us as well. Don’t discriminate now lol, you’ll played bad against the reds, and now against tahs, so be consistent and do the same against us also lol
Someone needs to remind Craig Joubert it`s not the bulls . . . sigh
But I guess it`ll help us if the Chiefs crash and burn.

Good result for the SA teams.
Is that the final score.
Am I right in saying that the New Zealand teams have only managed to win 2 games against the Aussies so far this year.
