Chiefs steal it late
16 Mar 2012
RYAN VREDE reports on the Chiefs’ 29-22 victory over the Brumbies secured through a Jackson Willison try at the death.
It was by no means convincing but the Chiefs continue their early-season march, giving further fuel to the growing belief that they will be among the teams involved in the business end of the tournament. To progress beyond the play-offs they need to exorcise the demons that sporadically tempt them to abandon a balanced approach in favour of crowd-pleasing panache.
The Chiefs at times resembled the rudderless side they were last year, shifting the ball laterally without any platform to do so effectively. Where purpose had characterised their attacks prior to this match, there was too much hope of individual brilliance, which was in short supply. It was no surprise that both their tries were built on pragmatic phase play.
Credit to the Brumbies for their structure, accuracy and power on defence – hallmarks of a Jake White team. The pressure they were able to exert in this regard contributed significantly to a string of handling errors the Chiefs committed, although a number of their cough-ups were simply schoolboy.
The Brumbies should have been ahead at the break (tied 9-9) having shown greater composure on attack but lacking the killer blow in the red zone. Their phase play and rolling mauls troubled the Chiefs, who lacked the gainline physicality to stifle the former and the organisational skill to quell the latter. Their lack of punch in the tackle compromised their breakdown contest and resulted in them conceding a string of breakdown penalties, which Christian Lealiifano duly banked.
He traded three pointers with Aaron Cruden, the flyhalves kicking five apiece to lock the scores at 15-all going into the final quarter. However, you sensed that the Chiefs had the edge. With their cavalier spirit reigned in slightly they were able to exert pressure in a manner they never were in the first half. They worked through phases and rewarded when Sona Taumalolo drove over from close range. Cruden converted to give his side the lead with seven minutes to play.
But then the Chiefs showed their tactically naive side once more, attempting to run themselves out of their territory instead of punting deep and forcing the Brumbies to take risks. They turned over possession and with four minutes to play Brumbies lock Sam Carter burrowed over the whitewash. Lealiifano held his nerve to level the scores once more from a difficult angle.
But the Chiefs redeemed themselves immediately. They depleted the Brumbies’ defensive line through multiple phases before shifting the ball to Willison for the match-winning score.

Tough game for the Brumbies. The Chiefs are looking ubstoppable. I hope the Brumbies at least keep it rspectable. Chiefs by 15+
16 Mar 2012, 07:05 am
no, after the shirt they pulled against the cheetahs i hope they get 50+ put on them.
dooses.
16 Mar 2012, 07:40 am
Yep, its time for a serious reality check for the Brumbies, the unbeaten start is going to end big time!
16 Mar 2012, 08:39 am
Shocking Sky Sports fark all on 5+ channels & no game coverage.. @Sky Fail!!!
16 Mar 2012, 08:40 am
@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-2: Got to agree
16 Mar 2012, 08:46 am
Let’s see what Jake Whites young Brymbles team really has to offer..
16 Mar 2012, 08:49 am
The Chiefs tighhead prop is fricken huge! He looks more like a professional pie eater then a professional rugby player, interesting to see how long he lasts, because he looks pretty powerful and exciting….
16 Mar 2012, 08:51 am
Bumblies cannot be the best Oz team? Oz conference even softer than the RSA one?Lol?
16 Mar 2012, 09:01 am
brumbies to pull an upset and annoy all jarpies?
16 Mar 2012, 09:04 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-9:
Hehe… careful what you wish for they say…
Brumbies forwards being extremely good so far at starving the Chiefs of possession and threatening the try-line… however it feels like a break-out is only a few seconds away…
16 Mar 2012, 09:07 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-9:
Off the topic but do you know what happened to that lock from Crusaders, Isaac Ross?
Been a slowish first half but enjoying the play of Chiefs #9 since last week already,.
The most impressive part of his game is that he doesn’t wave his arms at the ref at each his ruck or takes two steps to his side before he sets his runners away, and he can take a half gap as well.
Good player.
16 Mar 2012, 09:08 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-9: We’d just put it down to the SA influence.
Win-win!
16 Mar 2012, 09:09 am
Ouch ball dropped over the line by Fardy from the Brumbies!
16 Mar 2012, 09:10 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-11: isaac ross fell out favour at the saders ended up playing for the chiefs but now is in japan.
16 Mar 2012, 09:10 am
Brumbies are playing like a SA team.
Keeping the ball close to the forwards with that Bulls technique of a support player on the back of the ball carrier, bashing into the closest opponent.
16 Mar 2012, 09:12 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-15:
Only way to do it against this side… although the Chiefs forwards as just as good…
Brumbies tactical kicking is good too…
16 Mar 2012, 09:14 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-11: @Transformation(Transformation)-14: Ja he was good. I enjoyed his play. Quite mobile for a lock with good skills.
16 Mar 2012, 09:16 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-14:
Thanks, and he was an All Black as well wasn’t he?
Was it the injuries or was he just that bad that they let him go?
I remember him having amazing handling skills but was lacking in the physical department sometimes.
16 Mar 2012, 09:18 am
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-16:
Just like an SA side
Their scrum is solid and line-out working fine.
A boring team to watch but effective.
16 Mar 2012, 09:24 am
My Franschoek deal has been given the go ahead.
Meanwhile non-cullert residents from Plumstead will be relocated to Delft and Kraaifontein; those who cannot be accom there to Atlantis
The only thing that is here to stay is change
16 Mar 2012, 09:25 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-15: No Saffer side plays like that! Quality play so far, inches from two or three tries so far, not bad at all! Just need to be sharper in contact and maintain that defensive effort. At the very least, regardless of outcome, they have exposed several shortcomings in this Chiefs side.
16 Mar 2012, 09:26 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-19: Boring? I take it you haven’t seen a single Brumbies game this year! Their running is very good. You don’t have the slightest idea what you are talking about.
16 Mar 2012, 09:27 am
I see Jake’s Brumbies whom were completely written off by pretty much every1 “15+” etc not doing too bad at 9-9 HT. Be an interesting second half to see if they can sustain it.
16 Mar 2012, 09:29 am
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-20: What are you on about, old fool? This is what happens when you skip the morning pills.
16 Mar 2012, 09:30 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-18: no, he got schooled by victor big time in the 2009 tri-nations and was made a scapegoat by all of new zealand media – remember the new zealand lineout was so shambolic that GH had to shift hansen to “strategy” and he GH took over the forwards/lineouts. being dropped by the all blacks and the fallout affected his game and he never kicked on, so he went to the chiefs and subsequently moved to japan.
16 Mar 2012, 09:31 am
@Alucard(Alucard)-22:
I watched their 1st game vs the Force as well, how would you summarise their play in that match if not boring?
16 Mar 2012, 09:33 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-18: Snap!
16 Mar 2012, 09:34 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-25: Yes I remember that. Quite sad. Isnt he an All Black Legacy?
16 Mar 2012, 09:34 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-25:
I remember that ye, Victor was at the top of his game to the point where he stole their ball at will.
So AB coaches aren’t so perfect in managing young talent as they like to believe.
16 Mar 2012, 09:34 am
no man, no…
they are working together these anzacs
they are working together
16 Mar 2012, 09:35 am
@Guns(Guns)-23: Yes impressive so far. 2nd half should be interesting. I suspect the Chiefs will come out blazing. Try in the first 5 mins of the 2nd half.
16 Mar 2012, 09:36 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-26: They played a clever territorial game in that first half and opened it up in the second. It was a good tactical game. The ONLY reason fans were unhappy was because they wanted a try fest. That’s the Aussies for you, but I see doff Saffers have expanded on this by saying they now play a Saffer game simply because they have a Saffer coach. The Brumbies have played a lot of running rugby bud.
16 Mar 2012, 09:38 am
Chiefs get it together. The errors are bad. You guys have the dominating scrum you should win this game.
16 Mar 2012, 09:38 am
@Alucard(Alucard)-21:
You mean to tell me you haven’t seen a SA side who bashes it up close around the rucks with almost two guys receiving the ball to try and cross the gain line and secure the ruck ball at the same time, over and over again?
With the only time the wing sees the ball is when he’s chasing kicks down field?
16 Mar 2012, 09:40 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-33:
Exactly, they’ve been suckered into a messy game quite clevery by the Brumbies.
16 Mar 2012, 09:42 am
@Guns(Guns)-23:
Amazing what a difference a good coach makes with a bunch of young inexperienced up-starts…
Starting the season 3 months before all else paying dividends for him… and these guys are looking extremely well-drilled, disciplined and conditioned…
That said even the biggest punter would not have tipped them…
16 Mar 2012, 09:43 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-35: The Brumbies have been looking to run it. Chiefs simply poor ball handling and very frail on defence.
16 Mar 2012, 09:44 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-34: That’s something every side does! You clearly know nothing.
16 Mar 2012, 09:48 am
@Alucard(Alucard)-32:
Playing it safe and kicking away every ball you get in your own half is effective territorial play yes, but at the same time overly conservative, the same criticism we’ve had of most SA sides in Super Rugby and even the Boks.
Opponents who can run at them at speed and stretch them over the field will expose them, the only thing that’s let the Chiefs down in this game is their handling.
But credit to the Brumbies as well, so far their defence has been good.
16 Mar 2012, 09:50 am
Yes and apparently the person who called Chiefs by 15+ knows everything!!!
16 Mar 2012, 09:50 am
chiefs now in front, points seem to be coming only from penalties.
for those watching is the game interesting or the ref is taking centre stage?
16 Mar 2012, 09:50 am
@Alucard(Alucard)-38:
Do all sides repeatedly give the ball to their tight forwards, even on their opponent’s tryline with their whole backline waiting to run it?
16 Mar 2012, 09:54 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-42: thats stupid, unless you have no faith in your backline
16 Mar 2012, 09:55 am
@Papoose(papaown)-41:
Ref’s been good… mistakes are all the player’s in this slog-fest… yes it’s always interesting when you support neither team and the under-dog are playing a tactically smart game and threatening an upset…
16 Mar 2012, 09:56 am
lol……just loving this rolling maul aka boere rugby
16 Mar 2012, 09:57 am
@Alucard
Did you what the commentator just said now after the Brumbies good rolling maul?
”You wouldn’t think the Brumbies have a SA Coach in charge, would you?”
Haha
It’s not a diss at the Brumbies, just calling it as I see it.
16 Mar 2012, 09:57 am
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-44: is it raining?
just cant understand the lack of tries…
16 Mar 2012, 09:58 am
@Papoose(papaown)-43:
It’s called keeping the ball tight and starving an extremely attacking side of possession… and guess what… it’s working…
Chief’s forwards had no answer to that last 20m rolling maul…
And they’re back even!
16 Mar 2012, 09:58 am
C’mon Chiefs!
16 Mar 2012, 09:59 am
@Papoose(papaown)-47:
Dry as a tack and no wind…
16 Mar 2012, 09:59 am
15-15? seriously?
man i should be watching this game, jut for pure entertainment
16 Mar 2012, 10:00 am
Nice one Chiefs. Give them their own medicine
16 Mar 2012, 10:01 am
Insane bodies-on-line by Brumbies… will be a miracle to keep these Chiefs off the line…
16 Mar 2012, 10:01 am
Chiefs just do a rolling maul? whats the score now?
16 Mar 2012, 10:02 am
Yeahhhhhh Chiefs! Try!
16 Mar 2012, 10:02 am
@Papoose(papaown)-51:
Held up over the line under the sticks!
Brumbies conditioning on another level…
16 Mar 2012, 10:04 am
Try denied! Brumbies survive
16 Mar 2012, 10:04 am
Finally try given. Nice one Arizona!
16 Mar 2012, 10:04 am
are you FREEKIN serious? who scored? wait you saying it was not a try? well at least Chiefs get another attacking scrum. Messam to score to boost me over the top in fantasy rugga
16 Mar 2012, 10:05 am
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-58: whats going on? who scored? try given or not?
16 Mar 2012, 10:06 am
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-53:
Seems it’s starting to take its toll on their forwards.
Will be interesting to see how the Brumbies react.
16 Mar 2012, 10:06 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-28: yes he is, both his parents were all blacks…
16 Mar 2012, 10:07 am
Try Given. Taumololo. Brumbies 10 droped the ball, so scrum for Chiefs in Brumbies half
16 Mar 2012, 10:07 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-62: dude seriously? you’re killing the vibe guy
16 Mar 2012, 10:07 am
@Papoose(papaown)-60:
Chiefs got held up, got a 5 meter scrum.
From the scrum the pushed the Brumbies back, 8th man picked up and was well supported and got carried over the line
16 Mar 2012, 10:08 am
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-63: YESSSSS, Taumololo also in my fantasy team. i’m gonna kill it this week!!
16 Mar 2012, 10:11 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-61:
For sure… they’re looking battered… have more than held their own against a very good Chiefs pack…
16 Mar 2012, 10:12 am
Holy **** this is close… Brumbies 1m from the line!
16 Mar 2012, 10:12 am
godammit chiefs!

16 Mar 2012, 10:16 am

Painful… wish Clarke and Kafe had this one…
HUGE conversion!
16 Mar 2012, 10:16 am
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-36: Jake White will punish the ANC/SARU for not treating a RWC Winning coach &1 of best technical coaches still in the game, not by his choice but simply by doing his job where appreciated!
Think ppl also forget invective powers of Brumbies?
16 Mar 2012, 10:16 am
all square
16 Mar 2012, 10:16 am
@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-75: why wasnt it a try? who was try awarded to? how did this happen?
tell us all DAMMIT
16 Mar 2012, 10:16 am
Scores level
5 minutes to go
OK the ref says 4 minutes to play
16 Mar 2012, 10:17 am
The Brumbies play such boring k@k rugby. Mauling all the farking time.
16 Mar 2012, 10:17 am
@Wezwp(Wezwp)-78: OMW
16 Mar 2012, 10:19 am
@Papoose(papaown)-72:
brumbies player goes over the tryline, to me he did not clearly ground the ball and may have been held up.
ref says to tmo he went over something to do with inconclusiveness and just wants a reason not to award the try.
16 Mar 2012, 10:20 am
Chiefs score!
Koek innie hoek
16 Mar 2012, 10:20 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-84: NO ways!! i gotta watch the highlights of this game… I’m telling u!
16 Mar 2012, 10:20 am
What a game… Smith clearly knows how to change game-plans ‘just’ in time…
16 Mar 2012, 10:21 am
@Papoose(papaown)-79:
tmo being bound by protocol had to say the usual.
fark yes chiefs you beauts!
16 Mar 2012, 10:23 am
Brave defence by Brumbies all night but in the end their bodies couldn’t handle it anymore if you look at the way they got run over in these last 4 minutes.
Brumbies will lose a lot of close games against the better sides this year, unless of course they too decide to run more often instead of winning field, keeping it tight and defending for most of the game.
Like the Boks in Jake’s and PDV’s era.
16 Mar 2012, 10:26 am
@Papoose(papaown)-85:
It was a tight scrap more than anything.
16 Mar 2012, 10:27 am
who scored the last try?
16 Mar 2012, 10:29 am
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-86: wayne smith will ALWAYS outsmart jake…
16 Mar 2012, 10:29 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-89: i see, so the blooger commentary was more exciting than anything else?
16 Mar 2012, 10:30 am
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-81:
And ironically Wayne Smith changing tact to that very strategy rather than swinging everything wide saw them saving their own skins from the biggest upset of the competition so far…
16 Mar 2012, 10:30 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-91: thats sooo mean spirited Transie
16 Mar 2012, 10:31 am
Glad the Brumbies lost. The ripped off the Cheetahs and aparently got given a try there at the end. Can’t wait for them to tour. Let’s see all this home crowd decisions then. I HATE MAULS!
16 Mar 2012, 10:31 am
Well done Brumbies!! Chiefs not as hot as originally thought or Brumbies better than originally thought?
16 Mar 2012, 10:31 am
Good game, more of that over the weekend would be great. Arizona is a beast two metres out from the line, damn near unstoppable.
16 Mar 2012, 10:32 am
@THE MAULER(THE MAULER)-96: i think the latter is more true
16 Mar 2012, 10:33 am
Also, my fantasy team is cluttered with Chiefs.
16 Mar 2012, 10:33 am
@Papoose(papaown)-92:
You could put it that way
But it was exciting because no one expected the Brumbies to keep so close, they did that by making it a forward orientated game and throwing their bodies around at ruck & tackle points, legally though.
16 Mar 2012, 10:34 am
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-99: which fantasy league are you in?
i find the fox version to be the most statistically accurate so i dont use the supersport 1
16 Mar 2012, 10:36 am
Best display of scrimmaging I’ve seen in a long while, both packs were great. Flat as a table.
16 Mar 2012, 10:38 am

Next up my boys!

@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-93:
i was about to say the same wrt just how the chiefs won the game with the last try especially.
16 Mar 2012, 10:48 am
@CSI:Rugby(CSI:Rugby)-102:
no, the brumbies knew they would be under scrutiny in the scrums. i mean when lyndon goes on tv to say they appointed a front row specialist panel to study some of the refereeing decisions involving the scrums of the brumbies in the game just the weekend before then of course they will have done their homework on a plan to avoid trouble and possibly losing the game there.
ergo… they ****** scrummed straight cos they were beibg watched.
the chiefs were still the better imo.
16 Mar 2012, 10:54 am
There are 2 tiers in this year’s Comp
Tier 1 (No particular order)
Stormers
Bulls
Sharks
Reds
Tahs
Blues
Saders
Highlanders
Chiefs
Canes
Tier 2
Lions
Cheetahs
Rebels
Brumbies
Force
Tier 2 will upset the apple cart here and there, making it a very interesting competition this year.
16 Mar 2012, 11:07 am
So far this years games have been very difficult to predict!!

the sharks do noy belong in tier one and the hurricanes belong in an inbetween limbo tier to be decided at this point.
16 Mar 2012, 11:23 am
@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-114: the sharks finished 6th last year, one better than the bulls…
what you say about that?
16 Mar 2012, 11:24 am
@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-114:
LOL at Sharks
Canes I can agree with you, after their match vs Highlanders we’ll know where they really stand.
16 Mar 2012, 11:27 am
Tier 1 and tier two
How did you come to this …history…this year…last year?
Tier 2 teams – brumes are going through a rebuild but history has told us they have been a top 4 competitor mostly with two Super titles.
Cheetahs – nothing
Lions – nothing
Stormer? – have won nothing. best a top four finisher how many times…3?
Sharks – how many times a top four finisher…3 times?

ja, she must be a hottie. i remember transie saying something along those lines too.
but (and its a big but)… i believe she’s real short (her own words) and for me height (minimum 6’2″ or taller), strong, wide child bearing hips and big feet are a very sticky negotiating point.
even kim kardashian would have to make a really convincing case to me if i were to consider sacrificing, at least four, great springboks (a 10, two centers and a utility back because i aim to fix the sprigbok backline woes myself…of course if we are having problems at openside i could stick one in there) .

16 Mar 2012, 11:48 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-100: How can someone be so utterly clueless? Did you not observe how the Brumbies committed few players to the breakdown? This was anything but a forward orientated game! You can throw around a few rugby terms but you fool nobody. Absolutely clueless.
16 Mar 2012, 11:54 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-111: And what tier were the Stormers/WePee in when they missed a year of Super Rugby competition…
When they were’nt… ahem… quite good enough….
Sort of their GayChristmas tree jersey era… erm… sorry… That era is present…
Sure you know what I mean though…
16 Mar 2012, 11:56 am
@Alucard(Alucard)-123:
And you can call me Doff, clueless and a fool as much as you like.
How did the Brumbies score the try to level the score at the end, wasn’t it through their forwards?
What instruction did the Chiefs coach give to his players that they decided to take the ball up close around the fringes at speed instead of trying to spread it the whole time since the Brumbies were not committing too many players to the rucks and when they did they cleverly counter-rucked and flooded that area, slowing down the ball?
What area of the game was the tightest, the backlines running at each other or the scrums, line-outs and rolling maul?
Didn’t the Brumbies get another score levelling penalty from an impressive rolling maul?

And (lmimp) for clever Rugby terms.
What words do you suggest i must use to describe what is happening on the field?
Eg
A bunch of players pushing and shoving each other over the ball when it goes to ground – A ruck?

16 Mar 2012, 15:02 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-181:
Interesting that only Jayasuriya nd Gangully (on the list) scored more 100′s in ODI’s than in tests.
Jayasuriya in fact scored twice as many hundreds in ODI’s in comparison to tests. He of course revolutionized One Day International batting by becoming the first international player to successfuly attack from the first over in order to take advantage of the early fielding restrictions. It was during the days when we were still used to the “Kepler style” of batting (defend for 40 overs and then attack only if there are wickets in hand)
16 Mar 2012, 15:09 pm
Over the last few days,
I noted a rather heated debate between Skoppie and the Younger Generation (Pullers),
concerning the merits of the greatest live perfomances’ of “The Age of Rock”.
Well, since this is a Chiefy Thread, and the fact that a certain Robbie Robinson plays for the Chiefs,
I nominate this as maybe the best, http://youtu.be/q-w9OclUnns
Martin Scorsese, might well back me up.
Skoppie certainly had The Band in his top 5.
Robbie Robinson……………………………………remember the name.

You must check Robbie doing “Forever young” and “Baby let me follow you down” with Bobby Z during “the Last Waltz” – it is on you tube.

Artist: The Band
Song: Somewhere Down The Crazy River Lyrics
Yeah, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know where people play games with the night
God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levee
All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling
Fromright behind me
I turned around and she said
“Why do you always end up down at Nick’s Cafe?”
I said “I don’t know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way.”
She said “Hang the rich.”
Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Take a picture of this
The fields are empty, abandoned ’59 Chevy
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
Yea, that’s when time stood still
You know, I think I’m gonna go down to Madam X
And let her read my mind
She said “That Voodoo stuff don’t do nothing for me.”
I’m a man with a clear destination
I’m a man with a broad imagination
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
I can’t find, … no control
Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Wait, did you hear that
Oh this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
She said “There’s one thing you’ve got to learn
Is not to be afraid of it.”
I said “No, I like it, I like it, it’s good.”
She said “You like it now
But you’ll learn to love it later.”
I been spellbound – falling in trances
I been spellbound – falling in trances
You give me shivers – chills and fever
I been spellbound – somewhere down the crazy river

Katman is a secret Rick Astley fan so, this one for you ol’ boy
She wants to dance
She wants to dance with me
Oh yeah
There’s a girl I’ve been waiting to see
And I really get the feeling that she likes me
‘Cos she said so, but not in so many words
I’ve got to tell you what I’ve heard
She don’t want no wild romance
When she’s with me she only wants to dance
She wants to dance with me
‘Cos I’ll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
‘Cos I’ll let her be what she wants to be
Now I know I’ve been out of touch
And I never meant to hurt my baby oh, so much
‘Cos I love her and I think she love me
And that’s the way it’s got to be
When we’re together we never fight
We’ve got better things to do tonight
She wants to dance with me
‘Cos I’ll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
‘Cos I’ll let her be what she wants to be
She wants to dance
She wants to dance
She wants to dance with me
‘Cos I’ll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
‘Cos I’ll let her be what she wants to be

Hi Rosso…
May I correct something…?
That song is by Robbie Robertson – solo – not The Band. Came from his self-titled album in 1987.
An awesome album… also had Broken Arrow on it… (which was covered by Rod Stewart but much better by Robbie)… and a superb song called Showdown at Big Sky… among others…
Daniel Lanois produced and U2 did backing stuff for him…
He also had a song called Shine your Light… which was used for a movie called Ladder49… Great song!
Robbie also did two albums of songs for native americans… which imo opinion are some of the most powerful poignant songs ever written anywhere anytime…
listen to Ghost Dance… gives you goosebumps on your soul…!…
“you can kill my body…
you can damn my soul…
for not believing in your god…
and some world down below.
You don’t stand a chance against my prayer…
You don’t stand a chance against my love!”
The Band were giants and pioneers in rock history…
And Robbie Robertson is one of the deepest thinking people, let alone rock stars, ever…
An amazing human being…!!
