For me, being a Blues fan, their win in Brisbane was the result of the round. It was probably the worst game of round 3. The Blues started with a bang and there was three tries in the first 7 mins and that was that, it was like watching paint dry. The Stormers/Brumbies stalemate was a classic compaired to this. These 2 teams were supposed to be contenders, on this showing, not a chance!!
Try of the round went to the Chiefs, Mark Ranby finished it off but it was a great team try, it went through numerous pairs of hands before Ranby dotted down under the posts.
