Are the Blues better or the chiefs

WHICH TEAM IS BETTER OR (In comparison of the fans)

“Chiefs are better” no “Blues are better” Well today we are going to find out which team is better Blues or Chiefs. Well in my opinion chiefs are better because they've got Damian Mckenzie and he’s are really good player he’s scored more than 50 tries at least. He’s first five that means he’s always got the ball.

Now let’s get onto the Blues I think the Blues are good but not better than the chiefs even though that they have Rieko Ioane and Did you know that Rieko Ioane is the fastest rugby player in fact it was on NZ Herald. Rieko Ioane is winger that’s how all of the try’s get scored.

Firstly the chiefs have only won this year 11 and they've beat the Blues 2 times. The chiefs have versed the Bulls, Blues, Hurricanes, Highlanders, And the Reds and so many more and I got to tell you the Hurricanes are really good. And did you know their formally known for the waikato chiefs. Know we should go onto the blues.

Secondly I know the Blues. how many games have the blues won. Well I’m gonna guess about 10 well let’s see. They have won 4 games wow that’s not even close to how many the Hurricanes won. They have won 12 games like what the heck. In saying of the Hurricanes they have beat the blues and the chiefs.

thirdly I like the Blues but. Clearly the chief’s are better like even search it up bros. Like look at my facts come on chief’s are better yeah i know so know we know that the chiefs are better.

The black panther is black. They have big hunting teeth. They have big wide scary whiskers. There are many types of panthers like white panther, jaguar, leopards and many more. The black panther lives in beautiful tropical rainforests in southeast Asia and America.

The diet of the black panther:

What does the black panther eat they say that they eat herbivores like antelope, deer, wild hogs, and wild boar. Now you guys know what the black panther diet is. So that means that it is a carnivore and it  is a cat.

The habitat about the black panther:

Where do black panthers live? Well they live in dense, tropical rainforests and south and Southeast Asia. You can see them the most in southwest China, Burma, Nepal, southern Indian, Indenasion and the south part of Malaysia.

The lifecycle of a black panther:

A female gives born to the litter and when they live to 2 years old they are independent and the male stays around for most of their whole lives.
