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.

56 Loosehead, read the Lions thread to find out about the game……All in a funny foreign language, did not understand hardly a word!! lol
Your translation most helpful. Actually on Wetalkrugby Ed had a good thing that you press and it translates the Afrikaans….better than babel fish, that produces gobbledygook!!
O’Conner misses a penalty.
54: Andries (Hendrik) Potgieter was ook ‘n Voortrekkerleier, Potchefstroom is na hom vernoem.
Blue Bird, basicall the Lions were :poop:. Is that enough of an analysis for you?
Young Turk – I can’t get coverage either, the Vanilla Project thing is great but I can’t find it today! Want to see Sharks Stormers too!
64 Loosehead, thanks I get your drift!! 😆
Turk, my command of the Afrikaans language is suspect at best.
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BASSON!
Bjorn Borg speel beter rugby as tennis.
Basson is fast hey!
Another Pretorius initiated score…
Another TRY VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. Looking easy here for Cheetahs.
66 Blue Bird, I can give you a far more in depth analysis if you would like.
Conversion missed.
1/2 time. What are we drinking people?
@Bluebird – Ciao bella. Nice to see the fairer and superior sex here too. I think things will be better for the next game as it depends a lot on how popular the match is and how many people are sharing the stream…
hehehe. Loosehead, hard not to see the tryyyyyyy scored up there in orange.
BJORN FREE!!!!- sorry I broke into song there for a minute…..
How did the Stormers lose to this rubbish?
65 – Hello Blue Bird, Good to see you here. Now hope Treehugs blogs with us too during the Sharks game.
mooi shheeeeetttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahs
72 – Loosehead, I think that the pile of …. pretty much tells me all I need to know!!
I will have a mug of strong tea shortly!!
Hell Cheaters are playing beautifully. Just a pity about Juan’s tragic situation. Things may have been different without all their injuries and disruptions…
75 Fender 😆 very good!
76 – Loosehead 😯 Was not the Bulls who lost to them it was the Stormers 🙄
blikore speel vAndag oooraait 😆
75: “Bjorn in the RSA”
Hi all. Back home after getting smashed in traffic on a Saturday afternoon. Went to visit Sharky,was good fun. Puma,now you need to get involved and come for a visit as well bud. Good to see the Cheaters are playing well,had them to win on my Bru.
29 – Loosehead, only saw this now. Think it was supposed to be his brother, still not sure if he is coming to the Sharks. Maybe a rumour 😆
The Force look crap,but the Cheaters need to start well and put them away..
85 – Winston, Will try sometime.
Remember there is ALWAYS peak hour traffic in Joburg. Even on a Sunday. Hectic here.
Wee jy bdb – virre eng Bulls fan het jy nogal kwaai style! 😉
80 – Turk, Yeah pity about Juan he had to miss some games. They have also lost Brussow and Mapoe. think with those players they would have been far more competitive overseas.
