Super Rugby: Cheetahs vs Brumbies – Game Thread

Published 29 April 2011 | By grootblousmile

Cheetahs (32) 47 / Brumbies (26) 36 (Final Score)

The Cheetahs hosted the Brumbies 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, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

The Cheetahs raced out of the blocks and within 27 minutes had already secured their bonus point for tries, but then let in a number of Brumbies tries with suspect defence once again their downfall. After halftime it was a more conservative approach and the Cheetahs finally saw the game home with an 11-point win.

Scorers:

Cheetahs: 2 Drop Goals Riaan Viljoen, 3 Conversions & 5 Penalties Sias Ebersohn, 1 Try Coenie Oosthuizen, 2 Tries Sarel Pretorius, 1 Try WP Nel
