ROUND UP:

The Chiefs looked like they were going to put on a big score against the Cheetahs, after 15mins they were 21-3 up and in cruise control. In entertaining game each team scored 4 tries to claim a bonus point with the Cheetahs gaining another for losing by less than 7 points.

The Force produced the result of the round by holding title favorites The Crusaders 23-23. Playing with only 14 men and conceding 2 tries during that period the Force held on. But i think this is what the Crusaders needed to keep them on their toes. They know they have to be on their game at all times.

The Hurricanes produced a late charge but just couldn't do enough to claim victory over the Brumbies, but they did get a vital bonus point which could prove the difference at the end of the round robin stage.

The Sharks remained in the hunt for a place in the Super 14 semi-finals with an impressive 32-15 win over the Blues in Durban on Saturday. The bonus point for four tries ensured the Sharks kept up the pressure on the leading pack. No one is tallking about any South African teams making the playoffs, watch out for the Bulls and the Sharks, they can beat any team on their day.
