Cheetahs (26) 29 / Force (7) 14 (Final Score)

The Cheetahs hosted the Western Force in Bloemfontein at 17:05 SA Time. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.

In a brilliant display of rugby the magnificent Cheetahs totally outplayed the Force. The Force, who had previously beaten both the Stormers and the Crusaders, had no answer to the power and accuracy of the vastly superior Cheetahs. Juan Smith and Sarel Pretorius were outstanding for the mighty Cheetahs.

Scores:

Cheetahs: 3 Conversions & 1 Penalty & 1 Try Naas Olivier, 1 Try Sarel Pretorius, 12 Tries Bjorn Basson

    They could have had such a better season if they didnt have so many ugly injuries and Juan having lost his Dad.. Sad.

  • 153

    Damn pity for Cheaters that super 14 is almost over. Had it gone on for another 5 or so rounds, they may have reached the top half of the table…

    153 – Turk, They lost some of their top players early. Pity. Though they had them against the Sharks :mrgreen:

    Otherwise think if Cheetahs never lost those players they would have been a lot more competitive. Also sad about Juan losing his dad. Look forward to seeing Cheetahs next year with a full strength team.
