Cheetahs 15 / 5

Half time. FS lead by 10.
I forgot for a while that the game was in Blingfontein… not Joburg
Nou’s ek woes honger… gaan net gou so paar kaste bestorm… nou weer terug!
Ponder this… has the Lions bubble and advantage burst a bit in the last 2 weeks?
@ Scrumdown:53 – Said so too. Had that been a try would have been one of the best I have seen.
@ grootblousmile:65 – Looks a bit so, then the Cheetahs are playing superb rugby right now.
I LOVE our Currie Cup. Has always been the best domestic tourney in the world. Still is even watered down. WE have awesome depth in South Africa.
@ grootblousmile:64 – Take your time boeta. You deserve some good grubber….hehe. You been up early. We all know too you never up early on the weekends. This world cup must be taking its toll on you too…hehe. Never mind our players. 😆
Back to tv. Catch up later.
69 @ Puma:
Yip, tonight I’m faking an injury…. hehehe
2nd Half On!
@ grootblousmile:71 – 😆
@ Puma:
Puma do you really feel that SA,s chances are all gone now that Frans Steyn might be out? I read your comments on the other thread and eish old friend you must not work yourself up so badly over the loss of one player. FS was good but he was not the reason why we won those games so well, he could not do much yesterday, the guys who did the wonderfull things yesterday was FduP (sporadic) Lambie (all the time) Schalk(whole game) Victor (1st Half) and Brussow(like forever)
65@ grootblousmile:
How can you suggest such blasphemous utterances?
This game is but a puppy dog yet.
massive hit.
Get Goosen off the park PLEASE!!!!!
Taute and Goosen, massive collision, both out…. looks nasty
Taute is up, Goosen gets a neck brace and is stretchered off.
Goosen was out cold
Scrum Staat… play resumes
Sias Ebersohn the replacement
Scrum 5m out for the Lions
5m Scrum Lions.
Good defence from FS.
Wrong options Lions!
This Piet van Zyl Scrummie also has oodles of potential
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
I am back.
83 @ Loosehead:
From where?
Habana ‘his own worst enemy’
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers has urged Bryan Habana to avoid Twitter, ignore his critics and focus on his game.
Ebersohn is a shabby replacement eh?
Kwatch!
Staat hard on attack, and just turns the ball over on the Lions 5m line.
84@ grootblousmile:
I had to go out.
Sias Ebersohn just misses a drop goal attempt
