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.

Problem was they moved 3 lanes into 1,it was evil.. Think the trick here is to avoid all freeways at all costs..
Cheetahs already have the bonus point. Now just to win this.
Comes guys,get a win for South Africa before the Sharks smash the Stormers..
84 bdb blerrie snaaks.
91 – Winston, They still working on the roads everywhere. Don’t think many of the road works will be complete for the world cup. Could be hectic.
Thanks Puma, I have edited my comment.
welcome back junior 😆
73 – Young Turk – Well hopefully you are right….I want to get in the mood for the clash of the titans next weekend. However hope the Bulls do not play it so close to the wire next weekend!
My blood pressure cannot take it!! 🙂
Agreed Puma,this is still going to carry on for months still.. Traffic is bad enough without road works.. But at least the Cheetahs are making us proud..
76 – Loosehead, Sneaky now you in charge….hehehe. See your corrected it from Bulls to Stormers there. 😆
98 the clash of the Titans? You are referring to the Lions / Cheetahs game I trust.
Puma, hi there. Have everything crossed as I want to see Mr. Smit and the Sharky Crew run out at The Tank, can’t get this match.
Lions are a freak show,not Titans Loosehead 🙂
puma boetie stop using traffic as an excuse 😆
99 – Winston, The traffic here will carry on even once the road works are done. Just far too many people living and working up on Joburg. Though the traffic in Durbs getting a bit heavy now too, but nothing can compare to here.
104 – Sharky 😆
Nathan Sharpe doing what Aussies do best, whinging!
puma mate , ask winston my food didnt kill him , and if he had stayed longer he would have had durban curry for dinner lol
believe it or not its an oxtail and lamb knuckle curry , both meats combined
Yeah,I know but at least we’ll have more lanes to drive in 🙂 We’ll have to get you to fly and see Sharky..
101 Loosehead, surely that match will be the ‘Feline Farago’…..!! lol
102 – Blue Bird, Hope you get the Sharks/Stormers game. That is the big one today. Well hoping we play good rugby.
Can’t wait to see sharky and puma’s team get taken to the woodshed later. i’m already feeling sorry for the guys. Hell it’s going to be painful man….
Sharky – I lurvveeee Italian food!! 😉
No Puma,pizza was very good and the curry smelled awesome,had to leave with a heavy heart 🙂
😆 winston
well BB come for dinner 😆
Another penalty against the Force. It must be close to yellow card time.
Donut Dunning on the field.
lol turk , talk is cheap money buys the pizza’s :lol
Hope the cheaters can put 50 past the force and go above force and highlanders on the log. If they whip the toothless, gutless pussycats next weak, they may even go above the chiefs on points difference…..
Winston, you can get pizza at MacDonalds?
