Sure, they've produced the now-customary brand of swashbuckling flair in spades, but the results have been a little underwhelming. A six-point win over the Rebels at home is nothing to shout about when you're the two-time defending champions, and it took a pair of thrilling comebacks to snatch a share of spoils from the jaws of defeat on South African soil. They have an awful lot more left in their locker, and you'd imagine it's only a matter of time before they find the key, crack it open and unleash the true extent of their attacking prowess. And for all that they've trundled along in third gear thus far, never looking like breaking down, but not slamming the accelerator the floor either, the Chiefs have still racked up the points and the victoriesSure, they've produced the now-customary brand of swashbuckling flair in spades, but the results have been a little underwhelming.

FREMANTLE will have great memories of its last clash with the Swans, a 25-point preliminary final victory at Patersons Stadium. Apart from a poor performance against Hawthorn in round three, the Dockers have again been strong this season and are coming off an impressive 53-point triumph over Essendon. They meet a Swans outfit that is feeling some significant pressure. Losses in three of their four games to start the year leaves them well below expectations. But these Swans have plenty of pride and it would be unwise to write off their long list of champion players just yet.
Saturday first AFL Round 5 match is between Collingwood Magpies and North Melbourne Kangaroos with the game to be played at MCG. The opening bounce is set to commence at 1.40pm with home team Collingwood Magpies currently holding favouritism. View our AFL live scores, odds and results for the game between Collingwood Magpies and North Melbourne Kangaroos.
Not expecting too many changes to either team. Magpies duo Nathan Brown (shoulder) and Sam Dwyer (knee) must pass a fitness test in order to play. Taylor Adams is available after a one-match suspension. Jack Ziebell is likely to return for North, whilst Dan Currie could be back after being a late omission (due to weather conditions) against the Swans.
Things you need to know: The Hurricanes have managed to achieve consistency in selection with barely a ripple in their side. The Blues have made seven changes and in the process have welcomed veterans back from injury, especially hooker Keven Mealamu and lock Tom Donnelly. But it is the young lock Patrick Tuipolotu who could be a significant contributor in the tighter exchanges. This is a game likely to be determined by which tight five can get on top, if the poor weather forecast is to be believed.

unforgettable game. Just as they did in 2009, 2010 and 2012, Barça took three points from the Santiago Bernabeu to blow the league title race wide open. Di María and Benzema looked to have claimed glory, but in the end it was Leo Messi, with yet another hat trick who took the plaudits as Barça won an action packed and enthralling contest.

Hello. There aren't many guarantees in life. Death. Taxes. Someone on Come Dine With Me making a show of themselves after getting carried away with the old Lambrini. And El Clasico. (Or, to give it its former name, Barcelona v Real Madrid.) In football it's usually the case that the bigger the game, the greater the chance of an anti-climax. Yet recent matches between these sides have consistently provided the greatest entertainment, with something for everyone: part performance art, part pub brawl. In 22 matches between the sides in the last five years there have been 75 goals - which is coincidentally the number of times Sergio Ramos and Pepe should probably have been sent off.
