Did that ball go 10? I didn’t see
13 Minutes to go, all locked up
Fark, I picked the Cheetahs by 4… they’ll have to pull finger out the arse now!
Rebels running the Cheetahs a bit ragged, Cheetahs under pressure the whole time
Come on Staat!
7 Minutes to go
From getting the ball out wide, the Cheetahs have resorted to passing down a short blindside loaded with Rebels defenders
How did we not score there?
I picked Cheatahs by 2 as I thought they would build up a big lead which the Rubbles would reduce in the last few minutes. Hope they can win by more though. Crucial match for the Cheatahs as the loser will be the only team not to have won a match so far. Also supposed to be the Cheatahs easiest match, so if they can’t win here then where can they win?
Great break there by Goosen, just for a knock on later by Cheetahs. Damn really thought Cheetahs were over there for a try.
Arghhhh, penalty Rebels
128@ Loosehead:Incredible. Thought Cheetahs were going to get a try there just to damn well knock on. Pity!
4 Minutes left on the clock
I fear that the Cheetahs may lose this game.
Can Johnson pass a ball, thats twice. I said on twitter that the reason the Rebels are back in the game, is that there is always a runner on the ball carriers shoulder for pass the ball to. Twice now Johnson has had the same, and not used them.
Dicipline Cheetahs, dicipline!
C’mon Cheetahs, 2 minutes, dig deep
Cheetahs lineout, deep in their own territory.
