Currie Cup Semi-Final: Vodacom Western Province vs Vodacom Free State Cheetahs – Game Thread

Published 16 October 2010 | By grootblousmile

WP (13) 31 / Cheetahs (0) 7 (Final Score)

Vodacom WP hosted Vodacom Free State Cheetahs at Newlands, Cape Town at 17:05 on Saturday 16 October 2010. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SSHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

A bit of a shaky start from the kickers on both sides eventually saw Willem de Waal regaining confidence and WP becoming stronger and stronger as the game progressed.

At halftime WP was already 13 / 0 in the lead which prompted them to run more freely and the tries came. Eventually with WP 31 / 0 ahead, a simple WP mistake saw Philip Snyman score a consolation try to avoid a nasty Cheetahs whitewash.

To rights the Cheetahs tried hard but there was always only one winner.

Final score WP 31 / 7. 

Scores:

WP: 2 Conversions & 4 Penalties Willem de Waal, 1 Try Bryan Habana, 1 Try Francois Louw, 1 Try Gio Aplon

Cheetahs: 1 Conversion Sias Ebersohn, 1 Try Philip Snyman

    118: ai, ou fender, na al die jare ken jy my maar nog sleg ou maat. Ek moet bieg, ek is baie meer lojaal teenoor Bulle rugby as Bokke rugby vir verskeie redes. Maar ek is nie bitter nie, twee beste spanne het gewen, ek sou Ctahs Bulle finaal verkies het, maar hul het dit ten einde nie verdien nie. Nie lekker om te verloor nie (en die dag as dit lekker raak is jy in die moeilikheid), maar omdat ons goed deur die Sharks geklop is, is daar eintlik niks om oor te kla nie.

    Sterkte vir die twee spanne in die finaal, hoop hul hou lekker hande vas en dans lekker saam. Klink dit beter ?
