Looking good are they not? 5 from 6. Those little troopers are really going well. Should encourage young up and coming footy players that smaller stature men can excel in the heavy weight pro division with the right mind and skill sets. I think I like the 3 more tries than your opponent to secure a bonus point system this season. Keep it going fellahs. Keeping the rugby power base in the upper/mid NI just seems sooo right to sensible NZers somehow.  Mind you,those Counties players make Mr D Rene look blinkin` good eh cobbers.  ------------- Peace.Via superior firepower.. |

| Brilliant. Early days admittedly, but it looks like the so called power base still remains firmly in the South Island. Just as it always was. |

If the chiefs had been able to hang onto the pill, Friday night could have been a bit closer. Cheers

| Apologies for hijacking your thread Robert. Crusaders outclassed and muscled. I'd suggest there wouldn't be to many teams looking forward to playing the Highlanders at home. Or in fact playing them full stop. |

Just saw the stats. 5-2 tries to Highlanders. Done very well against the NZ teams to date. Hitting their straps atm it seems. Impressive. Crusaders seem to be chokers these days. ------------- Peace.Via superior firepower.. |

Break has come at right time for Crusaders and Chiefs - both have lost momentum Their clash in Fiji will be the most important game of the season to date. Heading to Eden Park to watch the Welsh, go the Blacks but would rather lose to the Leek eaters than any other team on rhe planet. |

It has to be said : the Chiefs sucked 'balls last night against the Waratahs. Still I'll be heading to the 'Tron in 2 weeks to watch Chiefs v Wales |

A win against the Crusaders in Fiji and a very good 50-5 away win against the Reds - the Chiefs are back

| Canes, Highlanders deserved there victories. Chiefs were very good. Crusaders- woeful. But as we have seen so many times - the season starts next weekend. |

| Highlanders deserved their victory tonight. Who would have picked 24 hrs ago the Hurricanes would top the NZ conference!!! Good luck to all 4 NZ teams for Q finals. |

Good outcomes for the three NZ teams that made the semis. To close to call from here in IMO. At least the Crusaders form of late has been consistent. Hopefully a new coach will improve things a little for next year. |

| Hurricanes in the best position now, home semi and potentially home final. Chiefs have to travel back from SA then play in Wellington with potentially another trip to SA if they get that far. |

| Nice work the 'canes. Bacon, steak and all other food capable of causing people to choke has now been removed from all Wellington retailers shelves. Go the Highlanders. |

| Yep, Hurricanes made the most of their opportunities tonight and 3 tries to 0 confirms that. Canes home final next week against either Highlanders or Lions. |
