Wallis het die bleekbene geklop, mooi so !
England 12 and Wales win with 19.
Incredible last two minutes, England nearly were awarded a last moment try!
Will give us hope for the future though a young team giving the Welsh team a run for their money!
What’s happening?
Penalty Cheetahs, easy one
Penalty Cheetahs. In front. Poles.
Over. 9 / 13 Cheetahs.
12mins to go in the first half.
Cheetahs 13 / 9 Lions
My Bru pick for Wales / England not too bad… I picked Wales by 4… they won by 7
Relieving penalty Cheetahs… no, now reversed. Penalty Lions, very kickable
Refs have been hammering the attacking sides all weekend for bridging. No different tonight.
Penalty turned over by the Ass Ref.
Jantkies for poles.
Over. 12 / 13. Cheetahs.
Over.
Cheetahs 13 / 12 Lions
Lions look ok with ball in hand, but the forwards are dismal.
JM will not be kind at HT.
Jantjies direct again!
Cheetahs now on attack
Turn over ball Lions.
And the FORWARD knocks it AGAIN.
Demmit….love my folks, but bad time to wanna skype…..grrrr….what happened?
LONG range drop from Goosen. FFS.
Drop Goal by Johan Goosen
Over….
Cheetahs 16 / 12 Lions
Goosen from 60m?
Yup!
Goosen is goed, hy is in binnebaan om Morne se deputy te wees in die groen trui. Kort nog net ‘n blou trui.

Long Range penalty by Goosen… and he slots it!
Cheetahs 19 / 12 Lions
Lions need to wake up in the second half.
Been dozy thus far.

Yes, at this early stage Johan Goosen & Morné Steyn look like the best flyhalves.
… and like you said, Goosen should be Morné’s deputy for now… he’s very young.
Later in the season we might call it differently….
Hooter goes for HT.
Lions have a strong scrum…
Hooter goes…
Lemoenetyd
Lions unlucky to lose Wikus but they are looking more and more like the pussycats of old that have been the butt of our derision.
This game can still go either way…. for now the Cheetahs have a 7-point buffer
