    270@ grootblousmile:I know, but what if there was a intercept try for the Saders? NO bonus point, niks bugger all you would say, then for Cheetahs and would given Saders a bonus point to boot. I say they stopped the Saders getting a bonus point and they made sure they got theirs. I am okay with that.

    271 @ Puma:
    Might be, but that is NOT backing your ability and giving the other side too much credit.

    Die Toyota Cheetahs se jong losskakel, Johan Goosen, was nie die kluts kwyt toe hy die bal eergister in die doodsnikke van sy span se Vodacom Superrugby-nederlaag teen die Crusaders uitgeskop het nie.

    Die 19-jarige Goosen het bloot ’n opdrag van Naka Drotské, sy afrigter, uitgevoer om met ’n bonuspunt-nederlaag van 21-28 in Christchurch tevrede te wees.

    Volgens Drotské kon sy span nie meer wen nie en was die risiko te groot om vir net een ekstra ligapunt van naby sy eie doellyn aan te val.

    Die besoekers het boonop verreweg hul beste vertoning in Christchurch gelewer. Hulle het in 2006 met 36 punte, in 2008 met 48 punte en in 2010 met 39 punte teen die ’Saders vasgeval.

    Goosen, wat goed gespeel en 16 van sy span se 21 punte aangeteken het, het onverwags teen die einde van die wedstryd die bal nonchalant vanuit sy eie kwartgebied uitgeskop om sy spanmaats en die Nieu-Seelandse kommentators sprakeloos te laat.

    Die Goose het hoeka vroeër in die kragmeting ’n ongelooflike Toyota Cheetahs-drie gedruk toe sy span uit sy eie kwartgebied begin hardloop het.

    Boonop het die besoekers die vorige naweek in die doodsnikke van hul Rebels-wedstryd, met die telling gelykop met 26-26, ná 16 fases ’n drie gedruk om met 33-26 te seëvier.

    Maar Drotské meen dit was ’n ander situasie. Die Toyota Cheetahs was reeds seker van ’n bonuspunt-nederlaag en wou dit nie prysgee nie, sê hy.
