Cheetahs (21) 41 / Rebels (7) 21 (Final Score)
The Toyota Cheetahs hosted the Melbourne Rebels at Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein at 17:05 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 were too strong for a game Melbourne Rebels side, but the game was eventually marred by an overzealous Refree, dishing out one Red Card and a few yellows, like they were Smarties.

Goeie drie deur Gerrard. Ctahs moet nog bonuspunt drie druk.
Aussie agterlyn: Genia, Cooper met o’Connor en Gerrard op senter. Baie gevaarlik.
Penalty Staat, obstruction at the kick-off
Missed… very kak attempt by Sias

TMO
Should be a try…
Damn, that was good
Bonus point for the Staat
Cheetahs 34 / 14
Great skills there by Cheatahs players to keep in play and score. But Rubbles have been more dangerous in the 2nd half. Cheatahs are just coasting now!
Goeie drie vir Staat. As jy die bal druk agter die vlagpaal op die wit lyn, behoort die lyn aan die drie drukker of is dit uit ?
Nasty Olivier comes on for Sias…… baaaad mistake

82@ The_Young_Turk:
It’s going…. they must just keep it up
Come on Staat, you’re almost there…
Eishhhhhh, almost

Rubbles look out on their feet. You may get 7 more points, Gbs.
