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.

Staat 32 / 7… after only 27 minutes
Try Ben Alexander for the Brumbies
Staat 32 / 14
Driee fees. Solank die Ctahs net meer driee druk as die Whities.
Damn Bigblu, can the cheats still lose this? What do you think? Brumbies are not out of it at all, the way tries are so easily being scored by both teams….
NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo. If the Cheatahs lose from here:::::::::::::::
Try Michael Hooper
Staat 32 / 21
Wedstryd nog lank nie verby nie. Ctahs se verdediging het dieselfde probleem as ons land se handhawing van wet en orde: bestaan nie.
For Farks sake man. Defense is non existent. I was so chuffed for the cheats in the beginning but this is not good rugby…
Eishhhhh, Try Adam Ashley-Cooper
Bonus point for the Brumbies
Staat 32 / 26
Ctahs hul self moeg gespeel daardie eerste 20 minute ? Hoop nie so nie, sal moet pasop, tweede helfte is lank.
Now it’s become a total farce. Cheatahs have absolutely zero defense with gaps appearing all over. Brumbies just need to keep possession to score at will. Ridiculous that the gap has shrunk from 25 to 6!

As ek Naka is stuur ek die duiksakke op na halftyd, dink hulle sal beter verdedig.
Ater seeing this crap, I can now appreciate the defensive game of the Stormpoppies a lot better. Rather boring rugby than a lottery where the result can swing in 5 mins with 5 tries!

Just back from injury, Richman. Don’t want to risk the guy now.
Bigblu, you just made R620. Wow the price of BJ’s have really gone up in SA hey!
Jonker het nie ‘n idee wat daar aangaan in die skrums nie, een vir die wit span een vir die blou span, een vir die wit span …..
Sias Ebersohn hits the upright with a penalty attempt
I’m envious because I only earn half that for mine here 🙂
