Penalty Staat, right in front of the sticks
Cheetahs 17 / 7 Rebels
17-7
26@ grootblousmile:After the NH rubbish dished up last night (I switched off after 50 min), I needed a decent fix again!
Early engage by the Rebels, Staat gets 10 more metres
Full arm penalty to the Cheetahs!
Goosen going for goal and missing this time
Goosen misses??????????????????
How did that happen?
Rebels penalized again and Goosen slots this one.
Cheetahs 20 / 7 Rebels
I want to see an absolute one sided thrashing today – a cricket score please
40 @ Just For Kicks:
Yeah!
That would be good!
What a gorgeous morning in Cape Town.
Penalty and card
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Willie le Roux cops a yellow, for a deliberate slap-down
O’Connor will bang this sitter over
Palm upwards, never a deliberate knock down, very, very tough call
Cheetahs 20 / 10 Rebels
Harsh he never slapped the ball. He was going for the intercep.
Cheetahs must now just close ALL holes for 10 minutes
Yip Staat, maul them!
Fark, Rebels turn it over and get a penalty
Cheetahs must just stick to their game plan, keep it simple and get the ball out wide. They’re doing a great job. They mustn’t try to be too clever, O’Conner’s been doing that, and he’s looked an idiot a couple of times.
Phweeeew, Rebels almost through out wide, where Cheetahs are now missing Willie le Roux
Finally Rebels knock
As I say that, what do the Cheetahs start doing? Start getting clever – long throw in, not kicking the ball out. Eishhhhh, I don’t know.
Freestate are letting the Rebels back into the game. Keep it tight and the Rebels will be moer toe.
5 Minutes to go till Halftime, 4 minutes of the yellow remain
Penalty Rebels….
Willie le Roux back on
Cheetahs steal the Rebels lineout… very timely steal
Too clever again by Goosen. Up to that point, really simple, keep kicking the ball down into Rebels half, and keeping them pinned down there whist Le Roux is off, what does Goosen do? tries to run it out of his own half with no one there to support him. Turnover
Rebels scrum…. hooter goes
