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.

ok, now I can relax. Well done at the end Staat. But your defense is extraordinary KUK.
Geluk Ctahs.
Adriaan Strauss is a good captain and a great hooker
Coenie “Moose-step” Oosthuizen is Man of the match
Cheetahs only 2 points behind the Bulls now on the Log…. into 11th position.
Blues already on 43 Log points…. the Reds could go to 44 Log points if they win well against the Canes
I suppose as a Bulls supporter, if they win with 5 Log points, I would have to become anti-Sharks and hope they lose without any bonus points… to draw closer…
This was a game of 2 totally contrasting halves…
The first half a try fest… the second a more pragmatic approach
Tomorrow’s 1st game starts at 09:35, SA Time.
It’s the game between the Hurricanes and Reds, at Westpac Stadium, Wellington.
OK fellas…. see you in the morning!
cheeeeeeeeeeetahhhhs!!!!!!!!!
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Funnily enough I was not worried at all.
@ Loosehead:

L4ever : My prediction for the weekend. Lions to lose their bye by less than 7 and get a bonus point.
Don’t you lot sleep?
Time for a game of golf. Good luck to all the Saffa teams except the Stormers!
Saw a chirp the other day that the women in PTA are more masculine than the men in CT – not sure who should be insulted by that?
@ Pam Anderson:
