    Every cheatahs player played their heart out. Bodies fully on the line. They never stood back an inch and they made all Saffas proud. I told you so, I FELT IT IN MY WATER!!!!

    Geluk aan die Staat.

    Saders moet nog Reds gaan speel, en Blues ook.

    Hierdie reeks gaan nog ‘n paar verrassings oplewer.

    Reds lyk die beste op hierdie stadium.

  • 106

  • 107

    I think i was never this excited for another teams successes , well done Blikore

  • 108

    Flipping well played Cheetahs.

    At last our “also rans” are starting to show what SA Rugby is really about.

    Please let the Lions and Cheetahs make me eat my words about SA not deserving 4 Super Rugby teams, let alone 5.

    Sh1t I love this sport.

    Man Utd are but a bunch of kids compared to these men that play RUGBY FOOTBALL.

    As Blues volgende week die Stormers wen, en die Bulle wen die Sharks, dan is hierdie 3 spanne 4 punte van mekaar, dit kan nog rof raak. Cheetahs het ook nog ‘n buitekans, en soos hul nou speel, wil nie enige van die ander 3 spanne teen hul speel nie.

    @ smallies72:
    Ek het al lankal… joke net 😆

    Geluk ou maat, vir die tweede week in n ry het jou span die beste rugby opgedis.

    Only Stormpoppies choked this weekend otherwise could have been a clean sweep by the saffa sides. Cheatahs moered the saders by 13 points and they refused to let them get the bonus. Mooi so ouens!

    @ superBul:
    Klink so ou bees, Cheetahs eintlik ongelukkig om nie n beter posisie op die log te beklee nie, paar naelskraapse neerlae…..maar hulle speel darem wragtag aanskoulike rugby, afgesien van wenrugby.
