Cheetahs (11) 23 / Bulls (8) 25 (Final Score)
The Toyota Cheetahs hosted the Vodacom Bulls at Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 and CSN on TV in SA.
Once again a game of two halves for the Bulls, this time extremely lacklustre in the first half and on fire after the break, when they decided to keep more possession.
It was hard, it was brutal, it was close… it was a derby!

Game On!!
Cheetahs threatening early… and gets a penalty and a second one
This is a new feat by the Cheetahs they start fast, VM said they will try and stop it , lets see.
Naas Olivier slots it.
Juan Smith leaves the field injured
Cheetahs 3 / 0
OK it was within a minute in the previous 2 games , now almost in 2
3rd penalty for the Cheetahs
@ grootblousmile:
sad but he ran on injured, they tried a bloody trick at the cost of a great player
@ superBul:9 – Super, that was then. They won’t beat this Bulls team. Bulls will win this one.
Then Bulls almost lost to Lions, but don’t think Cheetahs will do the same to Bulls.
Going to watch now. Back a bit later.
Penalty Bulls from the 1st scrum
As I speak Cheetahs are 3 up 🙄 Just hope I don’t land up with 0 from three on my bru.. Doubt it.
Naand. Sterkte vir die spanne.
Mag die derde blou span wen vandag !
Good tackle on Zane, that stopped the move
Bulls must get a drive going
Bulls must keep their possession man!
@ bdb:
naand ou bul
Sarel Pretorius offside from an attempted high kick field…. Morné within easy range…. but they opt to go for touch
Ek dink Victor moet een jaar aanbly en n testimonial speel op Flyhalf
Fast game….
Bulls dont score, hope they dont repeat the 2nd half of last week.
Ek gaan myself simpel rook in hierdie game
Whow that was close for Shadow
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Bakkies Botha!
Bakkies is playing good rugby this year, early day but still that is it.
47: ons kort juis back up vir MS.
Hulle kan maar solank ‘n groen trui maak vir Shadow.
Bulls 5 / 3
Morne is not hot this year, but wait the season is long
Penalty Cheetahs… Nasty Olievoël will go for posts
Daai penalty kon na ons toe ook gaan, mag jy le en die bal terug stoot ?
Naas misses the sitter
Kicking not accurate is their a wind?
