Cheetahs played with fire and passion last week. Pity about the injuries, or they well might have shocked the bully boys!!
Think they will do well against the powderpuff scrum of the weer probeer!! Only hardman there is Duane Vermeulen, the rest are not keen on the physical games lol
Coenie vs Harris Coenie to get less penalised and start playing his usual game
Barnes vs Fourie Even
Nel vs CJ vd Linde WP might trouble CJ, he is taller than WP
Vermeulen vs Elstadt Even
Steenkamp vs Bekker Even
Floors vs Louw Louw might shade it
Uys vs Louw Uys a bit more physical
Johnson vs Vermeulen Power vs X factor it can go either way, depends who gets to dominate
Pretorius vs Januarie Clear advantage Cheetahs
Olivier vs Bash Slight advantage WP
Benjamin vs Habana Ball never going to get to habs anyway
Strauss vs De Vill Attack WP on defence Cheetahs
Ebersohn vs De J Attack even, defence WP
Snyman vs Poolman Even
Daniller vs Jantjies Even daniller is better than Jantjies
Go Cheetahs!! WProblems were extremely lucky to escape last week!!
cheetah4ever. teminste wen die stormers. om naas olivier met peter grant te probeer vergelyk is belaglik.olivier is die swakste loskakel na earl rose in suid afrika.daar loop maak naka hom nog kaptein.eberson is total overated,de jong is lig jare beter..coenie en sy vet maatjies het lekker hulle naam gat gemaak in durban..
Ha ha, jy is ‘n ou grapgat so vroeg in die oggend. Ja Piet, die Stormers wen dalk, maar die statistiek wat tel is dat die berg bokke, ten spyte van al die bek gevegte, baie pond, en vele springbokke in hulle geledere nog absoluut geen bekers in hul kaste het nie.
Eintlik is die Stormers/WP over rated, want jy sien daar word eintlik nie van die Cheetahs verwag om bekers te wen ne, maar hulle doen, al was dit nou nie Super bekers nie.
Kom ons kyk, in die laaste 10 jaar lyk sake so:
Cheetahs in 10/10 CC semi finale gespeel, en die WP 7/10
Cheetahs in 5/10 CC finale gespeel, en die WP 2/10
Cheetahs het 2 finale gewen, 1 gedeel en die WP het nokkol
Wel julle het darem in een Super final gespeel, en weereens daar ook verllor.
So miskien is alles wat jy kwyt raak oor Naka, en vet Coenie waar, maar lyk my hulle bereik meer as jou primma donna’s!!
Cheetahs rock!!
In fact Piet, given the players at the Stormers disposal, and the annual hype from the Cape of no hope, the Super Rugby record since 2007 when the Cheetahs started as an independent franchise reads as follows:
2007 Stormers 10th Cheetahs 11th
2008 Stormers 5th Cheetahs 13th
2009 Stormers 10th Cheetahs 14th
2010 Stormers 2nd Cheetahs 10th
Seems like apart from 1 good season, and one fair season the Stormers moer oft than not are in the bottom half of the Super log, and that with more money, more high profile players, and if you are to be believed, better coaches??
Watse bekkers het julle op die oomlik?selfte as die stormers-wp.?niks.maar teminste staan julle n kans die jaar in die currie cup aangesien die bokke nie mag speel nie.
