With a very exciting half behind us, it's evident that the teams are very equally matched up until now! The Blues started well and seemed to have a good hand on the game, but the Chiefs then decided to turn their momentum around. That's when the game became very evenly matched with the ball coming very close to either try line. A few small mistakes as well as some incorrect decisions meant that neither team was able to capitalize on their close proximity to their opponents' lines though. The second half will be an absolute cracker if it's anything like the first, and we could be in for a very tight game!
