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!

Penalty Bulls… and there’s a Cheetah down injured
If Morne kicks this long penalty his game will kick in
Frans Viljoen leaves the field
Kyk, hierdie vrystaters is hard … maar die bulle is kliphard.
Morné hits the upright and it bounces away
We will have to work hard for this win, we missed a lot of chances already
Another Penalty Bulls…. knock-on offside again by the Cheetahs
Sad all the injuries to the Chetahs.
Morné slots this one
Bulls 8 / 3
Try Andries Strauss
Gap opened and Andries Straus took it
8 / 8
Goeie drie. Basson lelik gemis daar.
Come on Bulls get your structures right. Playing it far too lose.
Penalty Cheetahs on Bulls 10m line.
Naas goes for posts
Lekker hande in die losskrum, moes vir bulle 3 punte gewees het.
smallies jy kan maar kom moan ou boet
Missed again by Naas
justice.
Cheetahs have a lot of ball
Kyk bietjie as Guthro die ou tackle dan tel dit , bykans elke keer gaan hy terug
Penalty Cheetahs… early tackle by Victor
Niks fout met die penalty nie , ons het te vroeg getackle
Ek raak as getroue bul ondersteuner gatvol vir die bulle wat so gou as moontlik die balle wegskop.
Cheetahs 11 / 8
Deservedly in the lead
We need a speech like the Lions had last week. Can FL deliver it?
